The reason we do this:
$ cat >indirectly.pl
#!indirectly
print "hello world\n";
^C
$ cat >directly.pl
#!directly
print "hello world\n";
^C
$ perl directly.pl
Can't exec directly at directly.pl line 1.
$ perl indirectly.pl
hello world
Is because we ignore the shebang if it contains the string "indir",
we've been doing that since perl 5.0 alpha 8[1], does anyone know why?
Maybe this odd edge case can just be removed.
