How can I properly run Perl "one liner" command line scripts?

Viewed 81499

I have looked through a number of tutorials, but I still can't figure out what I am doing wrong... I am trying the code below (in a .pl Perl file, as an executable):

#!/usr/bin/perl

perl -e 'print "Hello";' 

I run this script and get:

Execution of /home/user1/Desktop/file_backups.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

(I'm new to using Perl to call the Linux command line.)
