Bradpsu has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
All of a sudden I am unable to run any perl scripts. For example when I issue from a command prompt:
perl -e 0
I get the following:
perl -e 0
syntax error at -e line 1, near "0"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
All programs also crash at the first command.
Has anyone ever experienced this? |

Need more info such as OS and Perl version. It sounds to me like a Win32 file mapping or path problem, but that's only because it's what I deal with (too often). | [reply] |

This is Perl version 5.005_03 running on Red Hat Linux 6.2
Everything has worked great on this box for a long time, and all of a sudden today I am getting these errors.

If perl was installed via rpm, does rpm -V perl produce any output?

What's the output of perl -V? Also, what's the output of <code>which perl<code>? | [reply] |

What's changed on the box? If you su root -p and then run your one liner does it balk? If not, you have a permissions problem on the Perl directories. | [reply] |
