Oh, please don't. That won't even work with most versions of unix. #! doesn't do a path search, so unless you have a perl command in the local directory, you'll get an (obscure) "not found" warning (it's the command on the shebang line that is not found, not the command containing the shebang line). I've seen #!/usr/bin/env perl (Plain old env won't work for the same reason that plain old perl will not), but that just replaces one arbitrary location with another, and the temptation to write #!/usr/bin/env perl -w will also elicit an obscure warning. -- jpl ==== demerphq suggested: > Well then maybe it should just be > > #!perl > > and make no assumptions about where it is in the path.Thread Previous
