I changed a line in the perl script (above thread) where it writes out a
shell script as follows, and it worked!
($GCGFILE versus GCGFILE was my typo that I made when I was typing for
posting).
<from>
print GCGFILE "#!/bin/tcsh\n";
<to>
print GCGFILE "#!/bin/csh\n";
which seems weird because echo $SHELL at the web server machine gives me
"tcsh".
Thanks everyone!
