which is clearly where the problem lies.
Correcting that to #!/usr/bin/perl5.8.5 -T -w solves the problem but still leaves me wondering how it happened in the first place.
Thanks for the help!
Bob,
I'd suggest changing it to /usr/bin/perl -T -w (instead of /usr/bin/perl5.8.5) to prevent the same kind of confusion should you ever upgrade perl again.
