--- Begin Message ---Package: lintian Version: 2.5.27 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected] perl currently suffers from this: E: perl-modules: wrong-path-for-interpreter usr/share/perl/5.20.1/Config/Perl/V.pm (#!/pro/bin/perl != /usr/bin/perl) Now, whilst it is certainly 'wrong', it's also harmless; a perl module (ending .pm) should never be executed (and indeed it's not installed with the executable bit). I imagine that someone put the shebang there as a hint to a syntax highlighter, or similar. Carrying around a patch to strip the shebang line seems like the wrong solution, and there's no generally correct fix to send upstream. Instead, can this check be updated to only look at files with the executable bit set? Thanks, Dominic.

On second thoughts... I remembered that the usual/canonical way of doing this via using the "#!perl" quasi-shebang. This should — and can — be sent upstream. Thus closing this report. :) Apologies for the unnecessary noise getting here. Best wishes, -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` [email protected] / chris-lamb.co.uk `-
