If any of you kind so kind monks could please point me in the right direction, that would be awesome.

when I put in the following code...

#!/usr/bin/perl-Tw
use strict;

exec ('/opt/BIPSConnect/bin/rdes') or print STDERR "Couldn't exec prog
+ram: $!";

I end up with this message, and I can run it from the command prompt in this directory or any other directory by typing in /opt/BIPSConnect/bin/rdes, so I am way confused. 
/opt/BIPSConnect/bin/rdes: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/usr/lib:/usr/ucblib:/usr/
+openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/local/lib:/opt/hpnpl/lib:/p01cfg0
1/harvest/Harvest/lib:/opt/BIPSConnect/bin: is not an identifier

I am not understanding this at all.

peace, LOVE and ((code))
