What is the actual error message you're getting? I'm betting that's not it.
Is the config file the Perl script? That was just unclear to me. If so, cd
to /usr/bin and try running the with a "./" (that's a dot and a slash) before
the script name.
What is the first line of the script? It should start #! and probably
contains a path, eg #!/usr/bin/perl or similar. Is that the path to the Perl
interpreter? If you don't know, type "which perl" at a console prompt to
find out.
If all else fails, try invoking the interpreter directly:
perl ./config.pl
Good luck.
