Shell-scripts always work with decently recent shells, since popen and 
system actually "run /bin/sh -c <command>" to get things done.

The shell should take care of it provided the +x bit is set for the user 
who's trying to execute and a properly formatted hashbang line is 
present at the very top of the script.
chmod 755 script takes care of the permissions. The hashbang line should 
look like so;
#!/usr/bin/perl
(i.e. without spaces and such to ensure workability with older shells).
