in reply to Perl Shebang Issues?

So what happens if you type "./test.pl" instead of "perl test.pl"? Do you get an error message?

      It's just your PATH variable. The shell will not search in the current directory for executables unless "." is in the PATH. If you do add . to your PATH, make sure it's at the end. I.e. PATH="$PATH:.", otherwise there are security issues. (It's better not to even do that, especially if you're running as root.)
