Which Perl is used to run the script???

[Tony Esposito]

Question:

        When a Perl script - let's say myperl.pl - has the following as its
first line:

        #!/usr/bin/perl

        yet your PATH is set to use another version of Perl - let's say
/opt/perl5.6.1/bin/perl -

        then which 'Perl' is used when you execute the program from the
command line like so:

        /opt/perl5.6.1/bin/perl  -e myperl.pl

        and which is used when you execute the program from the command line
like so:

        myperl.pl

        In other words, which 'Perl' takes precedence or how does the
precedence work?

        ( I believe I know the answer but I have - not by my design -
several versions of Perl on my development system and I want to be sure
which Perl is being used because some have more modules installed than
others ).

        Thanks!
