If the `#!` line isn't correct then your code will be passed to `/bin/sh`, not Perl, and that's what produced the error messages. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

No. If the error messages originated from `sh`, they would look like $ . a.pl sh: =: command not found sh: ./a.pl: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `{' sh: ./a.pl: line 3: `if ($count <= 20) {' [download] or (requires changing shebang to `#!/bin/sh`) $ a.pl ./a.pl: line 2: =: command not found ./a.pl: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `{' ./a.pl: line 3: `if ($count <= 20) {' [download] The error the OP gave is indeed from `perl`.

When I run your program, pasted to a file test.pl, as ./test.pl on my system (Debian Linux) I get: `bash: ./test.pl: usr/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or direct +ory` [download] If I run it as perl test.pl I get: `Hello World!` [download] So, I wonder what system you are running it on and how you are running it.
