FC20 and (":No such file or directory)

[Gregory P. Ennis]

Everyone,

I have created a new F20 install on a Toshiba laptop this afternoon, and
everything has gone well until I tried to set the laptop up for our
system with some perl scripts.  
Some of the perl scripts worked fine, but one script would not activate
and resulted in a command line error message of :

(": No such file or directory)

I added the parenthesis, but the initial single quote is part of the
message.  I have evaluated the perl script and have run it on other
machines without difficulty.  

I finally got the script to work by adding a -w switch to the first line
in the form of :

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
 
I am posting this to record the problem and solution for others.

Yes, quite curious, and were it me I would not consider that a solution.  I would run
strace on it to find out where it's happening, or maybe add "use strict" to
the perl script to find out what's happening.  There's something way more here
than meets the eye.

Curious, since the -w command-line option is suppose to cause warning 
messages to be displayed indicating questionable Perl code
