Yep, Rob, you're right on the money: centernet:/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/cacti8/scripts # head -1 webhits.pl weatherbug.pl|hexdump -c 0000000 = = > w e b h i t s . p l < 0000010 = = \n # ! / u s r / l o c a l / 0000020 b i n / p e r l \r \n \n = = > w 0000030 e a t h e r b u g . p l < = = 0000040 \n # ! / u s r / l o c a l / b i 0000050 n / p e r l \n 0000058 centernet:/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/cacti8/scripts # vi webhits.pl
I used this one-liner to delete the ^Ms: perl -pi.dos -e 's/\cM$//' webhits.pl Now, webhits works fine: centernet:/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/cacti8/scripts # ./webhits.pl 8088centernet:/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/cacti8/scripts # Thanks, again, Rob, for your help. -Kevin >>> "Hanson, Rob" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/12/03 11:10AM >>> > The she-bang line seems correct > I'm stumped. Can anyone point out the > boneheaded mistake I'm making? If I had to guess, I think the problem is an invalid unprintable character in the shebang line (I think a non-Unix newline). The bash shell seems to include the non-printable char as part of the executable name. Anyway... try creating a new file, type the shebang line with a blank line, then copy the rest of the file in. This usually does the trick. There is also a utility called fixnl that I use that seems to work too.
