but is where you miss the critical data
try
od -c /usr/lib/cgi-bin/agbot/agbot.cgi | head -5
you will most likely find that this is a 'dos' style file
with the "\r\n" problem
Had the author done the kosher thing with
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
then what looks like a "^M" in vi would have been hanging
off the '-w' and not off the perl.

the expected results since the shebang is trying to find
/usr/bin/perl^M
and that does not exist....
