Re^2: Where to save perl scripts on a mac?

Note that perl it self won't search $PATH, so saying "perl foo.pl" will always try to execute foo.pl in the current directory.

Which is why you should use the -S switch ("perl -S foo.pl"), to tell perl to search $PATH :)

Well, I didn't know about the -S switch, but it's still clumsy to have to type `perl -S` in front of everything.	[reply] [d/l]
