chmod +x makes the script an "executable" (so to speak).
If it still didn't work without the external "perl" in "perl qshape.pl"
check the script and the location of your perl interpreter ...
On a command-line, type
which perl
... if that gives another location than the first line of the qshape.pl
suggests, change the script.

E.g. if which perl says /usr/local/bin/perl and the script
has "#!/usr/bin/perl -w" as its first line, change the scritp
to look like "#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w"
