I sometimes have a problem running downloaded perl scripts. If I type something like "perl scriptname.pl" for one of these problem scripts, it runs fine. When I try "./scriptname.pl" I get the following:
bash: ./scriptname.pl: No such file or directory the first line does contain "#!/usr/bin/perl" just like my scripts that run fine. I've run into this before, but never found a solution. Retyping the script (if it is a short one) usually results in the script working. This really isn't an option on longer scripts. I also do a chmod 755 on all the downloaded perl scripts (to cover some of the obvious questions). I have tried this as root and as an ordinary user. When trying to run these problem scripts from apache (with owner and group set to apache) I get the following in /var/log/httpd/error_log: [Tue Feb 26 20:22:17 2002] [error] (2)No such file or directory: exec of /var/www/cgi-bin/scriptname.pl failed [Tue Feb 26 20:22:17 2002] [error] [client 24.234.44.166] Premature end of script headers: /var/www/cgi-bin/scriptname.pl Any suggestions? thanks, David Archer _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
