I installed 9.1 a few weeks ago, and just recently discovered that non-root users can't run perl scripts. If I run any script with #!/usr/bin/perl in the first line, I get something like this:
-bash: ./test.pl: /usr/bin/perl: bad interpreter: Permission denied The script itself is executable, and permissions are correct on Perl. (/usr/bin/perl is a link to perl5, which is a link to 5.8.0, which is 755) There are no \r's or other odd characters in the shebang line. There are no acl's set on any of /usr/bin/perl* or the parent directories. Any normal user can execute /usr/bin/perl somescript.pl, but can't run somescript.pl by itself. If this is a problem with the default Mandrake setup then I'm sure the question has been asked before, but I haven't found any suggestions on Google except the usual things above. Is there anything else that can cause this? Maybe extra restrictions set in kernel-secure? I can't imagine why someone would think that's a security feature. And for the bonus question, how can I undo whatever it is that prevents users from running perl normally? Appreciate any thoughts. Ryan
