am veryyyyyy confused n need help urgently.

PLEASE HELP!!

PERL is an intrepreted language, so the source code is read a line at a time and executed. The .pl is a common extension given to perl files. What does the first line of the .pl say? Does it say something like "#!/usr/bin/perl" or something like that.

Like rjerina says, we need more info.
