I'm attempting to debug a HPC cluster.
One problem: submitting Perl scripts into a several hundred node Linux Suse cluster via Open Grid Scheduler (OGS/GE 2011.11).
This generates a runtime error for Perl scripts on the "long queue" in the cluster, but not on the "short queue".
$> qsub -cwd -q short.q ./test.pl
Output is ok
$> qsub -cwd -q long.q ./test.pl
Output error log,
/var/spool/sge/comp26/job_scripts/3141815: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token my'
/var/spool/sge/comp26/job_scripts/3141815: line 2:open (my $fh, '>', 'test.out');'
If I submit a shell script to the long queue it works, containing
perl ./test.pl
Any ideas?
System: GNU bash, version 4.2.46(2), Perl v5.16.3 (yuk)
Test script
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Also tried #!/bin/perl
system("perl -v > perl.out");
open (my $fh, '>', 'test.out');
print $fh 'test';
close $fh;
The solution,as @bytepusher described, was
#!/usr/bin/env perl
and submission to qsub -cwd -q long.q ./test.pl was fine.
