That _may_ be the problem, but it is not necessarily the problem. I
believe that if there was no perl interpreter in the path that the OP
specified, bash would say -
"bash: ./test1i.pl: #!/usr/local/ActivePerl-5.10/bin/perl: bad
interpreter: No such file or directory"
But instead bash is saying "Command not found." So the OP may in fact
have a perl interpreter in the path specified on the command line, but
he is not calling the script correctly. So advising the OP to change
the shebang may be premature.
The script was not called correctly from the command line, of that we
can be certain.
