Or if ou would like to know the path of PERL binary for sure, type which perl to get the existing path to the PERL binary. To get rid of CTRLF's, what I do usually do is to open the same PERL script in Pico. Then press space bar once, Pico will say: "File modified", then do backspace once to get rid of that space you just typed, then save normally. Pico will get rid of those CTRLF's for you. Neat!
