If the output of:

  cat -v /usr/CVSRoot/CVSROOT/doLog | head -1

looks like:

  #!/usr/bin/perl^M

then there's your problem: Your script was written (or saved) on a
Windows system (your use of Outlook and the odd line-break between
/usr/bin/perl and the following colon are suggestive), which has a
different EOL convention than *nix.  Since you already have perl:

  perl -pi -e 's/\r\n/\n/;' /usr/CVSRoot/CVSROOT/doLog
