I did try to provide clear information and answer all the questions to the best of my abilities and I apologise that it was not understandable. Thank you all of your time and help once more!
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.

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.
