./perl.pl
You probably don't have the current directory in your search path, so when
you issue the perl.pl command, the machine looks everywhere, apart from the
current directory.
Either get into the habit of specifying ./command or add ./ to your search
path. Be aware that many people do not advocate adding ./ to your standard
search path and would recommend you get into the habit of prepending ./ when
necessary.

Subject: [newbie] Perl script is not able to execute
Hi,
I am using Mandrake 8.1 with bash shell.
Today is my first time using perl script. I read from the book said
if I
add #!/usr/bin/perl to the first line of my perl script, I can
execute
the script by just typing the name of the script into the command
line.
I have set the permission of this test.pl to 777
However, when I did that, the shell gave me a error message said
bash: test.pl: command not found
If I type
perl test.pl
or
/usr/bin/perl test.pl
then the perl script will work perfectly
Please help me!
Daniel
