To do this for all files in a port's destroot directory whose names end with
".pl":
post-destroot {
fs-traverse f ${destroot} {
if {[file extension ${f}] eq ".pl"} {
reinplace "s|^#!/usr/bin/perl|#!${prefix}/bin/perl${perl5.major}|"
${f}
}
}
}
(Assuming you have properly included the perl5 1.0 portgroup, or else manually
set perl5.major to the right value.)
