You are absolutely correct. I opened the script in vim and :set nobomb and
the script now executes properly without the annoying noise. I needed the
bomb for something to do with perl developing (it was a while ago), but
I'll have to remember to set vim up so that it doesn't do that on scripts.

Thank you VERY much and have a Happy New Year.
