I wonder if anyone can enlighten me as to why this would happen:

I tried to execute a perl script I had been working on for a while, and the
only response I got from the shell was:

bash: Text file busy

Copied the script to a new name, and tried to execute that - worked fine.
Removed the original script and copied the new one back to the original name
- worked fine again.

But what happened in the first place?  Probably something basic that I'm not
aware of...
