in thread Invoking Perl on a script, vs. using shebang

Yes, it was one of the first things I did.  I even have an alias for making any file executable (I'm more of a tcsh fan than bash, so I use the alias:  alias cx chmod +x \!\*, and then cx <file>), but I went further and did a chmod 777 on both the original file backup and the test file hello.pl, and did a chown root.root on each.  Still no success.

@ARGV=split//,"/:L"; map{print substr crypt($_,ord pop),2,3}qw"PerlyouC READPIPE provides"
