Err - 'chmod 755 SOMETHING.pl' ? Once the first line in the file does
correctly reflect the location of your "perl" binary (/usr/bin/perl on most
Linux systems, I guess, so the first line should read
#!/usr/bin/perl
) it's simply a matter of making the script file itself executable.
Or were you talking about something different?
