In Unix, the person has to do two things
1./ On the very first line of the file, he/she has to insert the location of his/her PERL interpreter (the location of the PERL interpreter can be found with "which PERL"). For example; redhat1:/home/(38)% which perl /opt/local/bin/perl <---------- system's response So, in my case, I will insert #!/opt/local/bin/perl On the first line of the file. 2./ Remove ^M from the end of every line. This could be done by running "dos2unix" on the file, or by simply using "search and replace" in a Unix-based editor. I normally use vi, and then in command mode enter: :1,$s/^M// where ^M is created by pressing Ctrl-v followed by Ctrl-m (v and m are lower case letters). __________________ William Ampeh (x3939) Federal Reserve Board __________________ William Ampeh (x3939) Federal Reserve Board -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
