The only thing I can do to reproduce what you are seeing is to place a
control-d (aka ASCII character 4) in the file. Try saying this
echo 'print "hello\n"' | perl -
If that works, then try this:
perl -nle 'print for grep { $_< 31 or $_> 126 } map ord, split //' t.pl
It will tell use what control characters may be lurking in that
file of yours.
I use the 'od -c' command to do that.
AH HA! When you mentioned control characters, I wondered if my text
editor -- BBEdit -- was causing the problem. It must have been,
because when I copy & pasted the code from BBEdit into Emacs,
suddenly the script ran perfectly in iTerm. Problem apparently
solved. Thanks, everyone!
Use the Edit -> Document Options menu item in BBEdit to set your line
endings to "Unix (LF)".
