Possibly. With Classic MacOS it's only necessary to put #!perl on the top of the file. In fact as long as it parses as a valid perlpath, you could even use #!/usr/bin/perl with no ill effects on MacPerl, and thus also use said program cross-platform. Now the real issue is, how are you launching this perl script and passing it values? What is the exact errror you are getting?
