perl error
 

i need to run a perl routine, but i am getting an error. here is the output:
root@squeeze:/usr# chmod a+x script.pl
root@squeeze:/usr# ./script.pl
-bash: ./script.pl: /usr/bin/perl^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
root@squeeze:/usr#

what am i missing?

Can you post the first line of ./script.pl which shows your shebang/interpreter? That is what is generating the error.

I bet if you did a

it would run, or atleast get past the interpreter error.
