when i installed the binary version of ghc-4.00 i recieved the following 
error mesg. when trying to run the compiler:

lassi$ ghc-4.00
syntax error in file ./ghc-4.00 at line 2540, next token "["
syntax error in file ./ghc-4.00 at line 2658, next 2 tokens "exists
$Supported_syslibs"
syntax error in file ./ghc-4.00 at line 2662, next 2 tokens "}"
..................


changed the line  #!/usr/local/bin/perl to #!/usr/local/bin/perl5
seems to have fixed the problem.  has GHC now begun assuming Perl version
5?

I know very little about perl, but is "perl5" a common executable name for
perl version 5.  if so, perhaps GHC should be more specific about the
version of perl it needs.
