How to solve “bad interpreter: No such file or directory”

Question

I\'m trying to run a sh script and get the following error on Mac:

/usr/bin/perl^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

How

You seem to have weird line endings in your script: ^M is a carriage return \r. Transform your script to Unix line endings (just \n instead of \r\n, which is the line ending on Windows systems).
