I'm working with my perl scripts in Linux and Windows. my scripts were running fine when I ran them as "perl myscript.pl"
but when I tried to execute the perl script using only its name (./myscript.pl) then I would get the message "No such file exists" I searched and searched until I found that there were ^M chars at the end of each line of my source. These could not be seen with the text editor I was using, but could be seen using "cat -v myscript.pl" I also found a one line perl command that removes all of these characters, and then my script worked fine to run as "./myscript.pl". I don't have that command on this machine, but if anybody is having the same trouble, I could email them later with the command. What is the cause of these chars? Is it using a Windows editor to code these scripts, and then running them in Linux? I'm curious to know the cause of this because I spent a good part of 2 hours getting that problem sorted out. Thanks, Greg
