Apologies for any typos.
But was it tested with a file named 0, zero? Looking at your alternative code there is NO 0, zero, file generated at all; your files start with the number 1.
We are not trying to belittle you, just glean as much information as possible to satisfy your requirements. You have no idea how difficult some problems are for volunteers on here, and remember we ARE volunteers, to solve with limited or incorrect information. Until late into this thread no-one even knew about a Perl script and the error report pointed straight to an unknown script at that time. If we had the Perl script to view the Perl experts on here would have probably solved your problem without ANY errors from either the Perl or the Shell scripts well inside in less than 20 odd replies.
There can't be anything so secret about your Perl script that you cannot show it to us.
Your Perl script might need a specific _library_/module and that module may be causing this error, who knows, we don't, as we do not have this script to view.
Please oh please, for everyones' sanity, give as much information as possible so that the big guns on here, who give their time for free, can supply you with a solution ASAP.

Hi,
I have some output from 'ls' command and I want to loop over the output in a bash script. What would be a good way to go about it?
For example, if the output of the ls command gives me 'prefix1 prefix2 prefix3', how can I set a loop that will iterate over these?
many thanks! (5 Replies)

test::script
Test::Script(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::Script(3pm)
NAME
Test::Script - Basic cross-platform tests for scripts
DESCRIPTION
The intent of this module is to provide a series of basic tests for 80% of the testing you will need to do for scripts in the script (or
bin as is also commonly used) paths of your Perl distribution.
Further, it aims to provide this functionality with perfect platform-compatibility, and in a way that is as unobtrusive as possible.
That is, if the program works on a platform, then Test::Script should always work on that platform as well. Anything less than 100% is
considered unacceptable.
In doing so, it is hoped that Test::Script can become a module that you can safely make a dependency of all your modules, without risking
that your module won't on some platform because of the dependency.
Where a clash exists between wanting more functionality and maintaining platform safety, this module will err on the side of platform
safety.
FUNCTIONS
script_compiles
script_compiles( 'script/foo.pl', 'Main script compiles' );
The "script_compiles" test calls the script with "perl -c script.pl", and checks that it returns without error.
The path it should be passed is a relative unix-format script name. This will be localised when running "perl -c" and if the test fails the
local name used will be shown in the diagnostic output.
Note also that the test will be run with the same perl interpreter that is running the test script (and not with the default system perl).
This will also be shown in the diagnostic output on failure.
script_runs
script_runs( 'script/foo.pl', 'Main script runs' );
The "script_runs" test executes the script with "perl script.pl" and checks that it returns success.
The path it should be passed is a relative unix-format script name. This will be localised when running "perl -c" and if the test fails the
local name used will be shown in the diagnostic output.
The test will be run with the same perl interpreter that is running the test script (and not with the default system perl). This will also
be shown in the diagnostic output on failure.
