$ svn help propset
propset (pset, ps): Set the value of a property on files, dirs, or
revisions.
usage: 1. propset PROPNAME PROPVAL PATH...
2. propset PROPNAME --revprop -r REV PROPVAL [TARGET]
[snip]
You're missing a parameter: the PROPVAL part of the 1st line of the
usage example. Subversion interpreted it differently though, as the
error message said: it interpreted "framelist.pl" as the value you
wanted assigned to the svn:executable property, but then didn't know
on which file to set it. You probably meant:
svn propset svn:executable ON framelist.pl
...where "ON" can actually be any value at all, even,
counterintuitively, for example "OFF". To turn it off again, you
would need to use:
svn propdel svn:executable framelist.pl
