Add ./ or the full path when you type pp.
Or you can END (anywhere else not considered secure) your PATH environment variable 
with : or :. To search the current directory.
Make sure it's at the end, or at least after ANY AND ALL system directories such as 
/bin or /usr/bin, and so on.

Subject:        how to use script to run perl scripts


I have a perl file pe.pl

-----------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;

$scalar = "5";
print $scalar * $scalar,"\n";
print "Hello World!";
---------------------------------

when i type ./pp.pl it works 
Now i write anoterh scrpit file pp

---------------------------------
#script file pp
pe.pl>out

----------------------------------
I expected that it will work the same when i type pp as when i type
./pe.pl

but instead i got a error message

"bash: pp: command not found" 

why and how to fix this problem?

Thanks
