The other bits are setting the script to be executable and making certain
it's in your path.

  chmod 755 perl_script.pl

Then,

  ./perl_script.pl

You only actually *need* to do that if you want to be able to run your script that way.
If you run it as
perl perl_script.pl
you don't need to set the executeable bit at all.
