Change the she-bang (#!) line to read:

That's the location of the default perl installation on OS X.
That _may_ be the problem, but it is not necessarily the problem. I
believe that if there was no perl interpreter in the path that the
OP specified, bash would say -
"bash: ./test1i.pl: #!/usr/local/ActivePerl-5.10/bin/perl: bad
interpreter: No such file or directory"
But instead bash is saying "Command not found." So the OP may in
fact have a perl interpreter in the path specified on the command
line, but he is not calling the script correctly. So advising the
OP to change the shebang may be premature.
The script was not called correctly from the command line, of that
we can be certain.
I think he's missing the execution bit (where someone already
spotted) and since bash on MacOS X doesn't have the current directory
in PATH, one must execute the program like:
$ ./test1.pl
Instead of
$ test1.pl
In the same directory, or change the PATH to use the current working
directory
$ PATH=$PATH:. test1.pl
Hope this helps
