Hello program on RedHat
 

I have RedHat 8 installed with Perl 5.8.
I've used Perl on windows before.
What am I doing incorrectly?
I run my test.pl program and I see no output.

Here is my program:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "hello\n";

I run command chmod 755 a.pl

than I run

/home/myid/hello_world.pl

...and nothing happens - I am back at my prompt...

Any advise?
thanks
adam

..shouldnt it be
I run command chmod 755 hello_world.pl ??

sorry, I have no experience of perl..but that looks like a problem

try perl /home/yourid/hello_world.pl

this should filter it throgh the perl interpreter

yup, just tried it, it works

1) Jatt_thugz: you are right - I made a mistake.
It should be "chmod 755 hello_world.pl"

2) perl /home/yourid/hello_world.pl
does not help either

very strange...

perl works just fine when I use
perl -e ...
