I dont know if this is too late that it wont be answered. I will so much appreciate it if it can be treated and my problem solved. I was a windows user but moved to Mac OS X. I have some perl scripts I run on MS-DOS cmd.exe but have been having problems running those scripts on Mac OS X terminal. Is there any command used for running perl scripts or how do I go about it. Thanks for responding. Cruzapete

  OS X has built-in PERL support. Run "which perl" to show the path of your PERL interpretor.
  
  G4-Cube:/private/etc kltan$ which perl
  /usr/bin/perl
  
  Another note is Windows PERL script does not require the shebangs line, but is required for your UNIX/OSX PERL script. Just enter the shebangs line at the top of your script as below.
  
  #!/usr/bin/perl
  ...your script..
  
  good luck.
