I run my scripts on both linux and windows and never got this problem..
Always edited with notepad or wordpad.
I run them from the command line or by choosing "open with -> perl" directly
on the file with my win2k.
I really don't know what was causing the problem... but IMO the "no such file
exists" means that it's not found.. if it was the ^M that would mean the file
was found, and then an error would maybe occur when reading it..
