Help with using xmonad configuration

Question

http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/C … _xmonad.hs
ok when I did ghci <filename> after I downloaded the configuration, I got an error saying parse error on input `<!' Failed modules loaded: none.
how would I go about solving this problem?
PS I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff but I'm learning

Here is Assorato's config:

-- $usage
-- The simplest way to use this configuration module is to use an
-- @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@ like this:
-- > module Main (main) where
-- >
-- > import XMonad
-- > import XMonad.Config.Arossato (arossatoConfig)
-- >
-- > main :: IO ()
-- > main = xmonad =<< arossatoConfig
-- NOTE: that I'm using xmobar and, if you don't have xmobar in your
-- PATH, this configuration will produce an error and xmonad will not
-- start. If you don't want to install xmobar get rid of this line at
-- the beginning of 'arossatoConfig'.
-- You can use this module also as a starting point for writing your
-- own configuration module from scratch. Save it as your
-- @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@ and:
-- 1. Change the module name from
-- > module XMonad.Config.Arossato
-- > ( -- * Usage
-- > -- $usage
-- > arossatoConfig
-- > ) where
-- to
-- > module Main where
-- 2. Add a line like:
-- > main = xmonad =<< arossatoConfig
-- 3. Start playing with the configuration options...;)

As you can see Assorato uses other keybindings than the default ones.
