Home: General Discussions: General Questions: Cannot execute perl script in Mac OS X using $./script_name

roger New User Jun 11, 2008, 1:13 PM Post #1 of 3 (6784 views) Cannot execute perl script in Mac OS X using $./script_name Can't Post Hi, I hope you can help me, I looked for an answer in many places and I couldn't find an answer. When I try to execute a perl script in the shell as $./script_name the shell tells that "cannot execute binary file". However, if I run it as $perl script_name , it works OK. File permissions are set to 755. #!/usr/bin/perl line is also correct ($whereis perl -> /usr/bin/perl) I cannot figure out what is wrong, as some scripts that I wrote some time ago run equally well with $script_name and with $perl script_name I will really appreciate your help!! Thanks, Roger (This post was edited by roger on Jun 11, 2008, 1:23 PM)

I specified that is MacOS X because may be there are differences that I obviously don't know and can produce this behaviour. Anyway, I will also post the question in perlmonks... Thank you again, Roger
