Perl - bad interpreter: No such file or directory
Here is a puzzler.

To start, let me say that I've done a search on this issue and it is definitely not related to line endings being encoded in windows returns.

I get this error when I run SOME perl scripts. I have a script called hello_world.pl. I do $cp hello_world.pl new_hello_world.pl and run new_hello_world.pl I get the error but not on the original hello_world.pl.

I've restarted the box to no effect.

If I edit hello_world.pl and make changes... no problem.. runs just fine.

I'm on a Mac with Snow Leopard using macports version of perl but I don't see how that could matter considering I'm copying a working script. Permissions and line endings are, of course, the same.

I did a port update outdated a while ago but I don't think that explains the issue.

Any pointers would be grand.

file::find::rule::perl

File::Find::Rule::Perl(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 File::Find::Rule::Perl(3)

NAME

       File::Find::Rule::Perl - Common rules for searching for Perl things

SYNOPSIS

	 use File::Find::Rule	    ();
	 use File::Find::Rule::Perl ();

	 # Find all Perl files smaller than 10k
	 my @files = File::Find::Rule->perl_file
				     ->size('<10Ki')
				     ->in('dir');

	 # Locate all the modules that PAUSE will index
	 my @mod = File::Find::Rule->no_index
				   ->perl_module
				   ->in('My-Distribution');

DESCRIPTION

       I write a lot of things that muck with Perl files. And it always annoyed me that finding "perl files" requires a moderately complex
       File::Find::Rule pattern.

       File::Find::Rule::Perl provides methods for finding various types Perl-related files, or replicating search queries run on a distribution
       in various parts of the CPAN ecosystem.

METHODS

   perl_module
       The "perl_module" rule locates perl modules. That is, files that are named "*.pm".

       This rule is equivalent to "->"file->name( '*.pm' )> and is included primarily for completeness.

   perl_test
       The "perl_test" rule locates perl test scripts. That is, files that are named "*.t".

       This rule is equivalent to "->"file->name( '*.t' )> and is included primarily for completeness.

   perl_installer
       The "perl_installer" rule locates perl distribution installers. That is, it locates "Makefile.PL" and "Build.PL" files.

   perl_script
       The "perl_script" rule locates perl scripts.

       This is any file that ends in .pl, or any files without extensions that have a perl "hash-bang" line.

   perl_file
       The "perl_file" rule locates all files containing Perl code.

       This includes all the files matching the above "perl_module", "perl_test", "perl_installer" and "perl_script" rules.

   no_index
	 # Provide the rules directly
	 $rule->no_index(
	     directory => [ 'inc', 't', 'examples' ],
	     file      => [ 'Foo.pm', 'lib/Foo.pm' ],
	 );

	 # Provide a META.yml to use
	 $rule->no_index( 'META.yml' );

	 # Provide a dist root directory to look for a META.yml in
	 $rule->no_index( 'My-Distribution' );

	 # Automatically pick up a META.yml from the target directory
	 $rule->no_index->in( 'My-Distribution' );

       The "no_index" method applies a set of rules as per the no_index section in a "META.yml" file.
