Perl log error -- What does it Mean?

We have the following in our error log:

[Fri Feb 28 09:22:38 2003] [error] Can't locate Digest/MD5.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/psa/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl . /etc/httpd/ /etc/httpd/lib/perl) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Apache/ASP.pm line 8.

Compilation failed in require at (eval 4) line 3.


We are not sure what this means but when we run top command on the server we get the following results that shows that perl process is at about 83 %CPU. This number fluctuates from about 75% to 95%. Any help would be appreciated.
