I've got a small perl script which has been giving me an error, so I made a copy of it and began removing large chunks of it. Believe it or not, I am now left with a "Hello, World!" script that's giving me errors?

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Hello, world!\n";
[download]

and the error I get is

$ ./test.pl
bash: ./test.pl: No such file or directory
[download]

Want to know what's even funnier? If I run this script with "-w" then it runs fine. I've typed & retyped the #!/usr/bin/perl several times to make sure there werent' any funky characters in there. What's going on? This must be something with my environment, and not the script?

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
