Error when using GD::Graph - "use: command not found"

Lhamo_rin has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

When attempting to run one of the samples from GD::Graph, I get the error "use: command not found" for each of the following three lines in the program:

use GD::Graph::bars;

use GD::Graph::hbars;

use GD::Graph::data;

bars.pm, hbars.pm, and Data.pm all exist in the /site_perl/5.8.5/GDGrpah-1.43/Graph directory. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

That sounds like a shell error, which means it's not perl that's trying to run your text. -- brian d foy <brian@stonehenge.com>	[reply]

Which in turn means you should check the top line of your program and make sure it points to your perl, i.e.: `#!/usr/bin/perl` [download] Or run perl manually: `perl myfile.pl` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
