Hi,
Thanks to all who commented. They are all correct. John Joseph's suggestion
to use #!/usr/bin/per; -w would work too. But Jason's suggestion below
pointed me to the solution. When the command perl test.pl work, right there
I realize file format might be suspect. I pulled out my HEX editor and
there they were, the <CR><LF> pairs. I didn't show in Linux vi the way it
would in Solaris vi, neither would it in the GNU editor (which I use).
Convert to regular Unix format and problem solved! More question: how can I
force vi to show these, or better yet, how can I get dos2unix or unix2dos
in Linux?
The down-side of Linux understanding much of Windowz is that you never get
subjected to these little finicky differences until you're struck by them.
