first off, you should at least buy Learning Perl by O'Reilly.
any UNIX user should at least know some perl fundamentals...

well, check the first line of the script, is it something like:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w 
if so, chmod 700 <file> and run it.
if not, do:
perl <script>
to call the perl interpreter on the script.

compiling perl is a little more complicated and i
have never bothered to do so...i don't think
it buys you much.
