in thread how to make a debian of a perl program.

It's actually chmod +x scriptname (or chmod 755), and I read his question as "How to create a debian package", which is a completely different kettle of fish, and definitely not something I'd try. In any case, here's an IBM DeveloperWorks article on the subject.

But if you need to install a single script non-portably, install -m0755 scriptname /usr/local/bin/ is all that you need.

    chmod +x scriptname Of course you're exactly right. Where's my head tonight? Updated.

    The intent of the question is at best ambiguously presented.
