I think he's missing the execution bit (where someone already
spotted) and since bash on MacOS X doesn't have the current directory
in PATH, one must execute the program like:
$ ./test1.pl
Instead of
$ test1.pl
In the same directory, or change the PATH to use the current working
directory
$ PATH=$PATH:. test1.pl
Hope this helps
