Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers How to make a .exe file executable in Linux? Post 303026187 by Scott on Wednesday 21st of November 2018 12:35:24 PM

Exactly which operating system did you download the file to?

A file having a .exe extension implies (but only implies) that it's a Windows file, not a Linux one. You won't be able to natively run that on a Linux system.

If you're on Linux, what does
Code:
file ukbmd5.exe

show you?

Where did "ukbmd5.enc" come from in all of this? Apart from the UK register for births, marriages and deaths, I really don't know what UKBMD is Smilie

Making any file "executable" on Linux is easy (e.g. with the chmod command), but that doesn't mean it can be executed.

Padre::Perl(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					  Padre::Perl(3pm)

NAME
Padre::Perl - A more nuanced "Where is Perl" module than Probe::Perl DESCRIPTION
Even though it has only had a single release, Probe::Perl is the "best practice" method for finding the current Perl interpreter, so that we can make a system call to a new instance of the same Perl environment. However, during the development of Padre we have found the feature set of Probe::Perl to be insufficient. "Padre::Perl" is an experimental attempt to improve on Probe::Perl and support a wider range of situations. The implementation is being contained to the Padre project until we have competently "solved" all of the problems that we care about. GUI vs Command Line On some operating systems, different Perl binaries need to be called based on whether the process will be executing in a graphical environment versus a command line environment. On Microsoft Windows perl.exe is the command line Perl binary and wperl.exe is the windowing Perl binary. On Mac OS X (Darwin) perl.exe is the command line Perl binary and wxPerl.exe is a wxWidgets-specific Perl binary. PAR Support PAR executables do not typically support re-invocation, and implementations that do are only a recent invention, and do not support the normal Perl flags. Once implemented, we may try to implement support for them here as well. FUNCTIONS
"perl" The "perl" function is equivalent to (and passes through to) the "find_perl_interpreter" method of Probe::Perl. It should be used when you simply need the "current" Perl executable and don't have any special needs. The other functions should only be used once you understand your needs in more detail. Returns the location of current perl executable, or "undef" if it cannot be found. "cperl" The "cperl" function is a Perl executable location function that specifically tries to find a command line Perl. In some situations you may critically need a command line Perl so that proper "STDIN", "STDOUT" and "STDERR" handles are available. Returns a path to a command line Perl, or "undef" if one cannot be found. "wxperl" The "wxperl" function is a Perl executable location function that specifically tries to find a windowing Perl for running wxWidgets applications. In some situations you may critically need a wxWidgets Perl so that a command line box is not show (Windows) or so that Wx starts up properly at all (Mac OS X). Returns a path to a Perl suitable for the execution of Wx-based applications, or "undef" if one cannot be found.
