On problem with "#!/usr/bin/env perl" is that every Fink perl5XY package (not perl5XY-core) has a /sw/bin/perl , and so it might be possible to have a /sw/bin/perl version which isn't compatible with the current fink code (I don't recall what versions we have on 10.4, though). -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Year.
