Hi,
Try $ file <name of executable>
to get the type of the file.
Also try this
$ more <name of executable>
and check out the first line... if this is a script, it should point to an binary
like
#!/usr/local/perl/bin/perl
(basicaly #! followed by name of the binary which would be invoked to run this
script.)
If that binary is not found (or executable) the same error is printed.
