Thread: Running a perl script

i installed perl sudo apt-get install perl, when try run perl script, opens text file.
have run perl scripts once perl installed?

make sure file executable with:

code:

chmod 755 perlscript.pl

the top line of script should have shebang, like:

code:

#!/bin/perl

which points perl executable.
