in thread Create a desktop icon for perl program in ubuntu?

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 --

      Try running the desktop file from the terminal, so you can get more diagnostic info

      if foo.desktop try gtk-launch foo

      or kioclient exec <path-to-desktop-file>

      or kfmclient exec file:/root/Desktop/cdrom.desktop

      If that doesn't yield something more than just flashing screen, try prefixing with strace
