Folks here might be able to help if you:
- Post the code you're trying to run
- Post the error message or other odd result you're getting
The information you've provided so far is too vague.
By the way, what do you get in response to either of
these two commands:
type perl
which perl
Those should print the path where your shell finds the
perl executable, given your current PATH setting. That is
what should be on the shebang line of any perl script you
write. (Note: this could report the path to a version of
perl that you did not install yourself. You do know the
path to the version you installed, right? Did you actually
place your installation in /usr/local/bin?)
Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
