I just want to make sure you understand that the error you're getting
isn't that /.../cat doesn't exist, but rather that /.../cat is trying
to call on a file that doesn't exist.

Watch:

-------------------------------------------------
[time@timetop 16:46:22 ~/tmp]
:) zsh
time@timetop ~/tmp $ ./tmp.pl 
zsh: no such file or directory: ./tmp.pl
time@timetop ~/tmp $ cat tmp.pl 
#!/a/b/c/perl
print "test\n";

time@timetop ~/tmp $
-------------------------------------------------

In this case, the "#!/a/b/c/perl" is triggering the error. Most Unix
shells had this very confusing error up to recently. Specifically, note
that bash gives a variant on this error that makes it more obvious that it
isn't the shell having the problem, but the user program.

Sorry I can't help you with your main problem...
