Is the directory that it's in, in your PATH ? :)
at least, for any shell accounts I ever had, I always created my own ~/bin/
directory to store any perl stuff I wanted to just "type" and have run...
and then added that to the PATH environment variable.
if you want to run it in the current directory that is *not* in the path,
use the construct:
%> ./some_file.pl
to execute it.
