PerlProblem

Perl scripts embed the directory of the Perl interpretter within the first line of the script. Thus, the operating system only needs to "see" the first line in order to figure out how to run the script (whether it is Perl or csh or Python).

If the 'cw' script won't run, it is possible that your Perl interpretter is in a different place than it is on our development systems. To find out where Perl is on your system, either ask your sysadmin or try:

     % which perl
     /usr/bin/perl

If Perl is not in /usr/bin, you will need to edit the CardioWave scripts to point to the proper path for your Perl interpretter. The first line of, e.g., the 'cw' script contains something like:

    #!/usr/bin/perl

and might need to be changed to:

    #!/usr/local/bin/perl
