So does anyone have any ideas about packaging up this script? I now have

If your script is executable and has the right "shebang" at the start you
will not need to call perl.

The script is called seaward.pl, I want it to be run by simply typing
seaward. How do I achieve this?

Make sure it's got the executable bit set, rename it seaward and make
sure the first line is:-

#!/usr/bin/env perl

Put the file in your path and you're done.

Cheers,
Al.

Thanks, I believe I have that set up already. Rename it is.
