I am getting the following message. What do I do next?

Usage: perl [switches] [--] [programfile] [arguments]
-0[octal] specify record separator (\0, if no argument)
-a autosplit mode with -n or -p (splits $_ into @F)
-C enable native wide character system interfaces
-c check syntax only (runs BEGIN and END blocks)
-d[:debugger] run program under debugger
-D[number/list] set debugging flags (argument is a bit mask or alphabets)
-e 'command' one line of program (several -e's allowed, omit programfile)
-F/pattern/ split() pattern for -a switch (//'s are optional)
-i[extension] edit <> files in place (makes backup if extension supplied)
-Idirectory specify @INC/#include directory (several -I's allowed)
-l[octal] enable line ending processing, specifies line terminator
-[mM][-]module execute `use/no module...' before executing program
-n assume 'while (<>) { ... }' loop around program
-p assume loop like -n but print line also, like sed
-P run program through C preprocessor before compilation
-s enable rudimentary parsing for switches after programfile
-S look for programfile using PATH environment variable
-T enable tainting checks
-u dump core after parsing program
-U allow unsafe operations
-v print version, subversion (includes VERY IMPORTANT perl info)
-V[:variable] print configuration summary (or a single Config.pm variable)
-w enable many useful warnings (RECOMMENDED)
-W enable all warnings
-X disable all warnings
-x[directory] strip off text before #!perl line and perhaps cd to directory

What exactly are you trying to run? This is a message from perl. Are you attempting to run a Vortex script?

Trying to get to the admin panel or to get the script to run, I've never worked with this script before but I have gotten it installed in the cgi-bin on the server. the usr directory contains all the Webinator files, did I do that part right? And what exactly is the next call to run this script?

The install script will install the files in the appropriate locations; at the end it should give you a URL to your admin script, something like http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/texis/webinator/dowalk . It looks like Perl is being invoked for some reason; the Webinator scripts are written in Vortex, not Perl.
