problem running script

1997-07-31 07:44:00

I have a simple simple recipe:

:0
* ^Subject: *fofarch
| $HOME/bin/fofworld

This "fofworld" is a perl script.  It's been running fine for months
and this morning I tweaked the script a little and now it gives
the error below (copied from procmail.log):

From kevink(_at_)MIT(_dot_)EDU  Thu Jul 31 13:59:30 1997
 Subject: fofarch who
  Folder: /home/ghar/fury/bin/fofworld                                      848
UX:sh (sh): ERROR: sh: Syntax error at line 1: `end of file' unexpected

The folder address is correct.  I've tried running the script from the shell
(/bin/sh), piping in a sample email, and it works fine.  The first line
is just

#!/bin/perl5

and I can invoke that, too, from the command line.

What in the world have I done wrong?
