   please refer me there.]   
      
   I had a strange problem pop up today. I am working on a msall program,   
   and my program file starts with something like this:   
        #! /usr/bin/perl   
        #   
            use strict;   
        my $aaa;   
        my @bbb = ( # "1ab",   
                      "2bc",   
                      "3cd"   
                  ):   
      
   Program runs fine, when I pun it using "perl program".   
   But when I "chmod +x program" and run it as "./program"   
   it has syntax errors on "use strict;" and on the commented   
   out first line of @bbb.   
      
   I am puzzled. Why would that be? For my use today, it does not   
   matter, but I have not seen this before, and I keep the "use strict;"   
   line in all my production code. Any hints for how to figure out what's   
   wrong?
