You can run the perl script by the following ways:

1. on command prompt type /usr/bin/perl your_script_name and press enter
2. Or you can add the following line to the top of the perl script:
#!/usr/bin/perl

Once you add that line you execute the script by typing fully qualified script_name and press enter. To run a script in the current directory should ./script_name.extension (Unix will not look for the script in the current directory by default).
