Hi,

I have a friend, he's using mac, and i asked him to run my Perl script on his Mac,

I am not sure how to doing things in Mac, but as far as i know not much different with linux Fedora (mine)

First try:

perl ./script.pl --ed 10-31-2011 -d
Can't open perl script "./script.pl --ed": No such file or directory
[download]

I asked him to remove ./ from script.pl, so second tried:

root@dom:/home/fre/bin# perl /home/fre/bin/script.pl --ed 10-31-2011 -
+d
Can't open perl script "/home/free/bin/script.pl --ed": No such file o
+r directory
[download]

Then, i asked him to run with:

root@dom:/home/fre/bin# ./script.pl --ed 10-31-2011 -d
-bash: ./script.pl --ed: No such file or directory
[download]

Last i asked him to run with:

./script.pl
Usage: ./script.pl --ed end_date --sales-table /path/to/sales/file
Use -d or -debug for debugging
[download]

Its weird

Here's the code (simplified):

#!/usr/bin/perl
use 5.10;
use strict;
use warnings;

use Getopt::Long;

my ($enddate, $csv_file) = (0, 0);
my $DEBUG = 0;

GetOptions(
  'enddate|ed=s'    => \$enddate,
  'sales-table|s=s' => \$csv_file,
  'debug|d'         => \$DEBUG,
) or die_usage();

die_usage() unless ($enddate && $csv_file);

sub die_usage{
  say "Usage: $0 --ed end_date --sales-table /path/to/sales/file";
  say "Use -d or -debug for debugging";
  exit;
}
[download]

Its weird enough for me, did i miss something ?

Script is working fine on my linux fedora
