This isn't an issue with the program (I don't think), but I think it may be a common source of errors preventing it running - in searching for the solution I found others with the same and thought it might be a good idea to save others time doing so in future.
Running the get_iplayer.pl script (renamed since the instructions were written to just get_iplayer) errored out because of use HTML::Entities and use HTTP::Cookies
Just for the info of anyone else trying to use this, the modules can be obtained via a package manager from within libhtml-parser-perl and libhttp-parser-perl (i.e. with sudo apt-get install ...) respectively
