What does "Internal Error: execve() failed" mean?

Most likely the path to your Perl interpreter is incorrect. This means that the line:

     #!/usr/bin/perl

located at the top of your perl file, needs to be changed to the correct path. This is often:

     #!/usr/local/bin/perl

          or

     #!/usr/local/bin/perl5

If you absolutely can't find it, try using the following command or mailing your system administrator.

     which perl

This will give you the location of the perl program if it is in your path.
