I am new to perl area. I have couple of doubts, just tell if i am wrong.

1. The difference ./abc.cgi and perl abc.cgi

(As a side note) s/(?<=difference )/between/

Suffice to say that the difference between those two cmds is much less than that between Perl and CGI.

'Perl' ne 'CGI'

2. Is it possible to run a perl program without #!/usr/bin/perl?

Yes, it is. And your perl question is?

Please don't take my word as I'm having an attitude in your regards. Despite what you may think at first sight, please take them as constructive comment!
