Mac Forum / Programming / Perl / August 2003making Perl scripts run
mrsparkle ellem ~/code $ phonetic.pl bash: phonetic.pl: command not found mrsparkle ellem ~/code $ sudo chmod +x phonetic.pl Password: mrsparkle ellem ~/code $ phonetic.pl bash: phonetic.pl: command not found mrsparkle ellem ~/code $ perl phonetic.pl Enter some letters and numbers: ASF19 alpha sierra foxtrot one niner mrsparkle ellem ~/code $ What am I doing wrong? I'd like perl scripts to work without my typing perl first. -- Lou Moran ellem@optonline.net http://ellem.is-a-geek.org:5280/ http://homepage.mac.com/ellem52/ Lou, try .\phonetic.pl and also make sure the first line contains #!/usr/bin/perl (or variants which enable strict etc). If the first thing works, all you need to do is add .\ into your paths within the .bashrc file.

If you are running the default shell, tcsh, you can add the following line to ~/.cshrc: setenv PATH ${PATH}:. That way the current directory (.) is always in your path. ------------ smalltime industries www.smalltime.com Now in 2D! Hi Lou, 1) you can run 'chmod' without being root, as long as you own the file 2) if '.' isn't in your path, you'll have to type ./phonetic.pl 3) the "command not found" error may indicate that the "shebang" (#!/usr/bin/perl) line is wrong - it's good to remember that in the future because it's a somewhat confusing error message, though technically accurate. -Ken > mrsparkle ellem ~/code $ phonetic.pl > bash: phonetic.pl: command not found [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > http://ellem.is-a-geek.org:5280/ > http://homepage.mac.com/ellem52/ |
