Hey, so I'm having a weird problem maybe someone can help me with.
I have a simple perl script named test.cgi that generates html (ie a cgi
script) which looks like

#!/usr/bin/perl
# hello.pl -- my first perl script!
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<"EOF";
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Hello, world!</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>Hello, world!</H1>
</BODY>
</HTML>
EOF

If I type "perl test.cgi" (minus the quotes) the perl script runs.  If I
type "./test.cgi" I got the error "bash: ./test.cgi: No such file or
directory"
If I remove the #!/usr/bin/perl line from the beginning of the perl script
and "./test.cgi" again it runs but gives a lot of file not found errors.
I'm guessing that somewhere there is an environment variable I am missing or
something...  I have perl 5.6 installed and Mandrake 7.1 with the 2.2.16
kernel.
Any suggestions???

Thanks

Sam
