There's nothing perl can do about this - the OS (in fact, the kernel, I think) reads that shebang line in order to know it should call perl. By the time perl gets to look at it, it's too late.Kernel not involved. Shell looks to determine with which application to launch executable. I kinda doubt the shell clips the first line and feeds only the later fragment to the executing file; I suspect Perl gets the file and can parse as it likes.
Take care,
