Perl scripts

[Victor Tsaran]

Or if ou would like to know the path of PERL binary for sure, type

which perl

to get the existing path to the PERL binary. To get rid of CTRLF's, what I
do usually do is to open the same PERL script in Pico. Then press space bar
once, Pico will say: "File modified", then do backspace once to get rid of
that space you just typed, then save normally. Pico will get rid of those
CTRLF's for you. Neat!
Regards,
Vic
