in reply to Executing a perl script in PuTTY

Where does PuTTy come into play here?

Most likely you want to open whatever the local version of a command prompt is. Most commonly, this is called a "shell window" or a "terminal window". There you can execute your script as if you were running it from the Windows Command Prompt.

    PuTTY is what I prefer, but that is irrelevant. I just want to know the commands that are necessary for a successful execution.

      I would assume that the commands are roughly the same as they would be in Windows Command Prompt. But why do you mention PuTTy if you think it is irrelevant?

      Most likely, you should get to your goal by entering:

      perl -w /roots/Documents/gogo.pl /roots/Documents/67865

        They are roughly the same but I keep running into an issue where that input on the terminal outputs: Can't open perl script .... No such file or directory. I'm assuming I have a path issue, but now I'm really lost. And I thought mentioning it would be extra information that would lead me to a better answer, but now that I think about it, it's rather silly.
