Hi all,
  I just picked up a new Internet provider who uses
 2.0.1 BSDI BSD/OS 2.0.1
and I cannot get my perl scripts to run.
the permissions are 
-rwxrwxr-x  1 sonalyst  vuser  38 Dec  2 05:37 test.pl
and perl is at /usr/bin/perl

for example the script test.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "hello\n";

results in the following:
pike>test.pl
test.pl: Command not found.

while

pike>perl test.pl
hello

works.  

I would GREATLY appreciate ANY help.  I run on LINUX, SUN, SGI, HP
so I'm assumming it is something to do with BSDI which is new to me.

TIA,
-randy
