Perhaps you tried to run a compressed script, a binary program, or a directory as a Perl program. You have some bad char in your script. If you have BBEdit, open up the script and select to Show Invisibles. You might see an upside-down red question mark or something where the bad char is. -- Chris Nandor pudge@pobox.com http://pudge.net/ %PGPKey=('B76E72AD',[1024,'0824 090B CE73 CA10 1FF7 7F13 8180 B6B6']) #== MacPerl: Power and Ease ==# #== Publishing Date: Early 1998. http://www.ptf.com/macperl/ ==# ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
