in reply to Problem with perl interpreter

Other monks have given you some good advice about line endings but I've seen the 'bad interpreter' message reported by the bash shell on a Solaris box - it was purely a permissions problem:

$ ls -l foo.pl -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 44 Jan 9 00:05 foo.pl $ ./foo.pl bash: ./foo.pl: bad interpreter: Permission denied $ chmod 755 foo.pl $ ls -l foo.pl $ -rwxr-xr-x 1 user group 44 Jan 9 00:16 foo.pl $ ./foo.pl $ Hello World $
