wild guess, you are not the script owner, just a group member ... group
has execute but not read permisions .. try chmod 755 ing it .. 
(assuming that that is what ksh is trying to say here .. I am only
familiar with bash) certainly with perl they wont run in execute only
you need read as well ... depends whats in the script I guess

ps is this cyborg as in the cobolesque pyroll thing or something else?
