Hi all,
I am working on porting some scripts from unix to windows, and I
noticed that perl ignores the first line of the script, and it seems I
have to run the script like this:
D:\Perl\bin\perl.exe myscript.pl
if I run it like we do on unix:
./myscript.pl
it will search the path and it uses the perl found in the path env
variable.
How can I make it to run exactly like Unix, meaning, just use the
first line in the script?
The Sha-Bang line (path to the perl interpreter) is supported in windows
also.You need tell the exact path to the perl interpreter.
For example
if you installed in c:\perl\
#!/perl/bin/perl
Windows will search only C: drive for this.
That's not true I'm afraid. Only perl, not Windows, reads the shebang line, by
which time the instance of perl to use has been decided. Perl will, however,
honour the switches on the shebang line.
