Thanks for the log. Unfortunately it doesn't show the cause of the
problem, or for that matter even that there is a problem. It says the RUN
command executed without any errors.
I have limited access to a DG/UX system. I logged in to it, created a file
called foo containing:
echo one
echo two
echo $1
echo $2
Then I gave it execute permission and made sure it worked OK:
~/kermit [329] $ chmod +x foo
~/kermit [330] $ ./foo xxx yyy
one
two
xxx
yyy
Then I started Kermit and told it to RUN this file:
~/kermit [331] $ ./wermit
C-Kermit 8.0.200 Beta.02, 28 Jun 2001, for Data General DG/UX R4.11

Type ? or HELP for help.
C-Kermit> show var os
\v(osname) = dgux
\v(osrelease) = R4.11MU05
\v(osversion) = generic
C-Kermit> run foo hello goodbye
one
two
hello
goodbye

No problems whatsoever. Whatever is happening in your case has something
to do with the file specification you are giving for your Perl script, or
permissions, or Perl itself, or other external factors. But in any case,
Kermit's RUN command works when the RUN filename is runnable (and of
course it fails when the file is not runnable).
Note that this trial was done with C-Kermit 8.0 but you have 7.0. It
shouldn't make a difference, but if you want to try the 8.0 Beta, it's
