Hi everyone. I am a newbie to Perl, but need to use it in school. My question should be fairly easy to answer for you guys, when I look at other problems that people have. I use Strawberry Perl for Windows 7, and I have tested it using perl -v - it works fine. When I attempt to execute my "program" with: perl readwrite.pl 0720-da.txt ...it tells me it can't be opened, because no such file or directory exists, quoting: Can't open perl script "readwrite.pl": No such file or directory. It is written in Notepad and is located in the correct folder alongside its txt-file. The perl file looks like this: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
# readwrite.pl

while ($line = <STDIN>) {
    chomp($line);
    @tokens = split(" ", $line);
    for $tok (@tokens) {    
    )
    print "$tok ";
    }
        print "\n";
}

Can you by any chance spot what's wrong with this picture? It's a very simple program although I am so new to Perl, that it seems like an unsolveable riddle to me. Thank you.
