This is the program: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use warnings; print "Your name please"; $name = <STDIN>; chomp( $name ); print "Hello $name Welcome to the world of perl\n" I m getting this error ... username.pl[2]: use: not found. Your name please username.pl[4]: Syntax error at line 5 : `;' is not expected. Is there any problem with this script.. or any other probs.. I suspect some problem with perl executable ... but i dont know how to fix it. Guys plz help. Thanks . Sakthi.Abdullah
