What am I doing wrong? I'd like perl scripts to work without my typing perl first.


phonetic.pl is not in your path. If you try: ./phonetic.pl it should run.


If you are running the default shell, tcsh, you can add the following line to ~/.cshrc:


setenv PATH ${PATH}:.

That way the current directory (.) is always in your path.
