Re: More multiplatform perl

I'm sorry, could you rephrase that. That didn't make any sences to me. I just tried using jsegal's suggestion and it worked for me.

If I type in 'perl' from the shell, it executes the correct version. If I run a script with a shebang line that points to perl, it attempts to execute the perl script with ksh instead of executing the perl binary.

Have you done the unix command  chmod +x on the file that stores the perl script with the shebang line?

[the pusher robot]

Yep.

[jjdraco]

so if you tried

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

print "Hello World!!\n\n"

it would try and run ksh? assuming perl is in /usr/bin/perl I'm no expert but that sounds like a problem with your system setup somewhere. its the system that looks at the shebang line and decides what to run. if its calling ksh then...I don't have a clue.
