I'm at a loss. This script works fine:

print "good\n";
and this script is broken:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "bad\n";
I can run the first as './good.pl' but if I run the second as './bad.pl'
I get:
bash: ./bad.pl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
If I add a flag (e.g. '-w') on the end of the shebang line, then everything
is OK. I can run either script as 'perl xxx.pl' and they work just fine.
I checked this out on two different boxes. It worked as expected on a
FreeBSD but was borken on my RedHat Linux machine.
What am I missing?
