Fwd: [rt.cpan.org #56674] inconsistent #! for programs

Just got this, and I'm wondering why this is the case. (there's probably
a logically inscrutable reason for it...)

[In Strawberry's case, the shebang should be #!perl, I would think. The
question is how to set it to that during building.]

The use of #! to indicate the path to perl for scripts is inconsistent.
The ones that use paths such as /usr/bin/perl or ./perl simply won't
work. C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe is ok, but I believe a bare perl
is more portable.

Here is a list of the scripts and what they use in
strawberry-perl-5.10.1.1-portable.zip:
