This means your program probably isn't running at all (or terminating early), is there a setting to keep the window open (there should be)?

Well that is interesting, does the file exist, is the shebang valid? Does the file run if you type its name from a shell? Try a valid path to perl with a space dash dash like `#!/usr/bin/perl --`	[reply] [d/l]
