I am unable to run scripts on OSX. Here is what I did:

I created a file script (no extensions) as follows:
#!/usr/bin/perl
echo "Hello"

And then I save it. After that I go to my shell and try running this
file and I get the following message:
bash: /Users/Y/script: /usr/bin/perl: bad interpreter: Permission
denied

Any idea what I am doing wrong, and how I can fix this?

Try running
/usr/bin/perl -v
from the bash prompt. If it says Permission denied, there's your culprit.
