Looks to me like your upgrade/install didn't complete right.

rorohiko:[git/v3.04.04-]:~/git/koha% git checkout v3.04.04
HEAD is now at de9926a... Updating Version Number to 3.04.04.000
rorohiko:[git/v3.04.04-]:~/git/koha% perl -c C4/Search.pm
C4/Search.pm syntax OK

So I checked the tarball also

rorohiko:/tmp% wget http://download.koha-community.org/koha-3.04.04.tar.gz
rorohiko:/tmp% tar xzvf koha-3.04.04.tar.gz
rorohiko:/tmp% cd koha-3.04.04
rorohiko:/tmp/koha-3.04.04% perl -c C4/Search.pm
C4/Search.pm syntax OK

Hmmm, I think I might know the problem
What version of perl are you using?

Line 497 is unless ( $data ~~ @used_datas ) {

The ~~ is a binary smart matching operator, which doesn't exist in 5.8.8.
