Duuuuhhh

I figured out the problem - I needed the / before the usr/bin/perl. I 
couldn't even get that to go at first after adding it because I 
forgot the ./ before the file I was trying to run. Sometimes there is 
a bit much for a novice to remember. Thanks to those that did reply - 
and yes, I remember someone refering to it as the she-bang before!
