Twohree options that occure to me at the moment.

1. Type "perl path-to-script" at the commant line
withought the quotes
or
2. For a more perment slution type "which perl" at the
commant line 
withought the quotes and make a note of the path. Then
open the scripe 
in your favorite text editor (eg vi pico nano) and add
this line to the 
begining of the file "#!/path-to-perl" and then "chmod
700 script-name" 
then finally type "./script-name" at the commant line
withought the quotes.
