The next step is to go to a command line and type:
perl -v
You should see something like this:
This is perl, version 5.005_02 built for <OS name>
plus six lines about usage and so forth.
If you don't get that, try /usr/bin/perl -v to make sure that the
OS can see the perl interpreter. If that works, you'll need to
check the first line in majordomo and resend. They will
usually read "#!/bin/perl" If this line reads anything other
than #!/bin/perl or #!/usr/bin/perl, you should change it
to match one of those values. Chances are, you won't need
to modify them.
If you don't get the version information, use ls -l /bin/perl
to see where it is installed. Go to that directory and use ls -l
again to see if you have -rwxr-xr-x permissions. If not, you
will need to chmod the permissions accordingly.
