Re^2: Script running OK, re-loaded with no changes, then won't run uintil -w switch added.

and the server does not have an executable file named "/usr/bin/perl\r"

years ago i thought about the idea if it wouldn't be the best for providers to just have a file "/usr/bin/perl\r" on the system that links to the correct binary. as far as i have tested scripts will run fine.

not being serious, though =)

hehe... yes, that would be so clever. And when a sysadmin or anyone else does "ls /usr/bin" (and, just by coincidence, "perl\r" does not occur in the right-most column), they'll wonder why that one line of the listing is shorter than expected and has things out of order, and some programs that should be there are not showing up. Think of the fun everyone would have!	[reply]
