Not that it matters in MacPerl, but in Unix perl, that 1 must be a ! if you
want to execute the script directly.

Nope.  :)  You probably got this error message, or something similar:

# syntax error, near ") }"
File 'Untitled #4'; Line 16
# syntax error, near "} elsif"
File 'Untitled #4'; Line 18
# Execution of Untitled #4 aborted due to compilation errors.

Look at the first error message first.  Fix that bracket, and you're good to go.
