Please don't top-post. Others reading this email a year from now
will have a very hard time knowing what you're answering to
without scrolling down, then up, then halfway down, then up.

I'm guessing the output was actually
#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w
which is quite different from what you wrote, but I'll have to
assume that the output you gave me is actually correct (who in
their right minds would give false info to someone who's trying
to help them??), so here it goes:

* There's your error right there. To begin with, you probably don't
have a binary named "pearl" anywhere on your system.
* There's "#!" in front of the name of the script interpreter, so
the kernel has no idea what to do with it.

Run this command and it'll magically start working:

sed -i '1s,.*,#!/usr/bin/perl -w,' check_sendmail.pl

Note that "similar" hardly ever cuts it, especially if you want
more help and don't paste the "similar" command you actually
used along with the output it produced. copy-paste is your
friend.

Got it...as far as the top posting goes...makes sense.  Thanks.  And yes
there was a #! In front as you said.  I did say similar just because the
OP who was helping me said I would get something similar to
#!/usr/bin/perl <args-to-perl>.  My output was similar to that, but not
exact.  Thanks for the response. I ran the following:

sed -i '1s,.*,#!/usr/bin/perl -w,' check_sendmail.pl

return:

sed: can't read check_sendmail.pl: No such file or directory
