Perl cmds doesn't work in Bash shell . Plz help
Hi everyone,
I have a Linux OS in my PC (older version 9). Its default shell is bash. Whenever I try to run some Perl program it throws error ! eg, if I run this simple PERL program ,
#!/usr/bin/perl
printf "\lHello \n";
$var=3 ;
printf $var;
@list=(1,2,3);
printf "@list";
------------------------ it says -
in Bash =3 command is not found and the last two lines have syntax error !
![EEK! Smilie](https://www.unix.com/images/smilies/eek.gif)
I tried it in cygwin also & got the same error (its default shell is also bash). But in my Office -PC, no error is observed.
How to tackle with this situation? should I get the latest version of Linux on which PERL can run without error ?
Please help.

Hi everyone,
I've an issue trying to soustracte two dates, e.g:
d1=$(date -d "Nov 18, 2017" +%s)
d2=$(date +%s) # Today we are 2017-11-16
echo "$(( (d1 - d2) / 86400 ))"
Output:
1
I don't understand why it doesn't work. for me, it should give "18 - 16 = 2".
Much appreciated... (1 Reply)

OPEN(1) Linux 1.x OPEN(1)
NAME
open - start a program on a new virtual terminal (VT).
SYNOPSIS
open [-c vtnumber] [-s] [-u] [-l] [-v] [--] command command_options
DESCRIPTION
open will find the first available VT, and run on it the given command with the given command options, standard input, output and error are
directed to that terminal. The current search path ($PATH) is used to find the requested command. If no command is specified then the envi-
ronment variable $SHELL is used.
OPTIONS
-c vtnumber
Use the given VT number and not the first available. Note you must have write access to the supplied VT for this to work.
-s Switch to the new VT when starting the command. The VT of the new command will be made the new current VT.
-u Figure out the owner of the current VT, and run login as that user. Suitable to be called by init. Shouldn't be used with -c or -l.
-l Make the command a login shell. A - is prepended to the name of the command to be executed.
-v Be a bit more verbose.
-w wait for command to complete. If -w and -s are used together then open will switch back to the controlling terminal when the command
completes.
-- end of options to open.
NOTE
If open is compiled with a POSIX (Gnu) getopt() and you wish to set options to the command to be run, then you must supply the end of
options -- flag before the command.
EXAMPLES
open can be used to start a shell on the next free VT, by using the command:
open bash
To start the shell as a login shell, use:
open -l bash
To get a long listing you must supply the -- separator:
open -- ls -l
