Re: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

in reply to bad interpreter: No such file or directory

If you FTP in binary mode (or otherwise copy) from a Win32 box to a box that's some variant of Unix, you have an invisible hidden carriage return (^M) at the end of each line. The "bad interpreter" that's being referred to in this case is /usr/bin/perl^M Copy the file in ASCII mode, or use dos2unix (or the equivalent), and your problem will probably go away.

Or just make sure you have spaces after /perl, something like `#!/usr/bin/perl -w -`	[reply] [d/l]
