Fair enough. This being said, I have to point out that the change
is only on the scripts in the 'examples/' directory, which are not
installed as part of the distro.
Perl has been configured to use $Config{startperl}. Use it!
I'm not sure I understand how you would like me to use it. I know
that, if we ask nicely, MakeMaker and Module::Build will change the shebang of
scripts that are to be installed to the local location of perl, but typically
things that are not to be installed are left alone. Do you propose that the
example directory get munged as part of the 'perl Makefile.PL' stage? Or do you
know of a static shebang that goes straight for $Config{startperl} ?
Joy,

Understood, but IMHO we/you should not/never promote that usage

typically things that are not to be installed are left alone.
In which case I wonder why this change was needed in the first place
Do you propose that the example directory get munged as part of the

No, only if these examples are installed as option from Makefile.PL
(many modules allow that)
Or do you know of a static shebang that goes straight for
$Config{startperl} ?
No. Maybe #!your_path_to_perl_here
would be the best option :)
Maybe I sounded too harsh in my previous mail, but in the end, that
ticket should just have been marked rejected with exactly the
explanation you just wrote here. If it does not install those scripts
from examples, *ANY* shebang line is valid

Re: DBD::Oracle v1.39_00 is out
A new DBD::Oracle trial version is out and on its way to CPAN. It's a maintenance release with fairly minor bug fixes (full changelog below). As usual, the trial version will be soaked for 2 weeks and, pending issues, will be promoted to v1.40 for general consumption.

Personally I really really hate this change
App::Ack was the first I noted to make this horrid change and I always
revert the shebang line to reflect my production perl
I (very) often work on other perls than the one that is installed and
to make testing these with modules (like DBI, DBD::Oracle and many many
more, I temporary change my $PATH to have the perl I am testing first
In that perl, App::Ack is NOT (yet) installed.
For some/many scripts, it doesn't really matter if the script is
installed or not, but for all scripts that invoke modules it *does*
matter.
I certainly do NOT see this change as more modern
Perl has been configured to use $Config{startperl}. Use it!
$ perl -V:startperl
startperl='#!/pro/bin/perl';
