I'm cc-ing marc who seems to be the closest thing the perl locker has
to a contact point.  However, you almost certainly want to solve this
problem by using /usr/athena/bin/perl instead.

I'm going to go ahead an close your bug report now.

   Hi.  The timestamp on the perl binary in the "perl" locker is five years
   old, and won't run, at least on linux22.

   athena$ add perl
   athena$ ls -l /mit/per
   perl   perl5  
   athena$ ls -l /mit/perl/bin/pe
   perl       perl4      perl4.036  perl5      perl5.001  
   athena$ ls -l /mit/perl/bin/perl
   -rwxr-xr-x   2 nocturne mit        249860 Feb 13  1996 /mit/perl/bin/perl
   athena$ /mit/per
   perl   perl5  
   athena$ /mit/perl/bin/per
   perl       perl4      perl4.036  perl5      perl5.001  
   athena$ /mit/perl/bin/perl5
   bash: /mit/perl/bin/perl5: cannot execute binary file
   athena$
