My guess is that perl is correct about there not being a file Script1.pl in your directory. Possible causes for this are:
- The current directory is not what you think it is. Print out the current directory before you start perl, maybe by doing cwd; before you launch Perl.
- The file looks like it has the name Script1.pl but really it doesn't. Maybe it is called script1.pl (note the lower-case "s"), or Scriptl.pl (note the letter ell instead of the digit one) or something like that.
But without knowing the setup, it's hard to tell. In my shell scripts, I always ensure that the current working directory is set to something sane by doing:
BASE=$(cd $(dirname $0);pwd)
This sets the shell variable $BASE to the directory where the script resides in. All other executions are then done relative to $BASE - in your case, I would use:
exec perl -w "$BASE/Script1.pl" "$@"
to launch the Perl script - maybe your stanza is better as it will preserve quotes - on my system, I don't have to fight with arguments with embedded whitespace.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
