i'm attempting to create perl scripts, my first hurtle, the .bashrc is not sourced when I launch the terminal. My experience years ago was to create both C-Shell and perl scripts on Sun, SGI, etc unix hardware. Now I'm having difficulity executing the simple "hello world" test. Any suggestions to get me off this hurtle. Does the first line get the "#!/usr/bin/perl" yes or no? the file is 744 so it is executable.
