Trouble running Emacs-EPL (to run perl in emacs).

I'm trying to use Emacs-EPL to run perl commands in emacs.  (My
installation procedure is listed below.)  When I run emacs and do

  M-x load-library perl

I get the message

  Loading perl (source)...done

Then

  M-x perl-eval-expression

and at the "Eval Perl: " prompt I type 

  2+2<CR>

and it hangs until I press C-g.  `ps ux` in another xterm shows the
following processes running (after I used C-g twice and tried a third time):

  emacs
  /usr/bin/perl -MEmacs::EPL=0.007,:server -MEmacs -MEmacs::Lisp 
-eEmacs::EPL::loop
  /usr/bin/perl -MEmacs::EPL=0.007,:server -MEmacs -MEmacs::Lisp 
-eEmacs::EPL::loop
  /usr/bin/perl -MEmacs::EPL=0.007,:server -MEmacs -MEmacs::Lisp 
-eEmacs::EPL::loop

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Adam



~~~~~ my installation ~~~~~

I downloaded

  http://john-edwin-tobey.org/perlmacs/src/Emacs-EPL-0.7.tar.gz

and followed the instructions with this result:

  /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/
  |-- Emacs
  |   |-- EPL
  |   |   `-- Debug.pm
  |   |-- EPL.pm
  |   |-- Forward.pm
  |   `-- Lisp.pm
  `-- Emacs.pm

(I've checked that /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/ is in my perl library
path.)

Then I copied the files
 
  epl-compat.el epl.el epl-server.el perl-core.el perl.el

into ~/.local/site-lisp/ , which is in my load-path in emacs.
