If it's a bash script, as opposed to a dash, sh, or zsh one, then it
should specify bash. And if bash is somewhere other than /bin then the
user probably has the nous to resolve the problem.

Yes, I'd expect it to be there rather than /bin. Perl's -x allows a
Perl script to start
#!/bin/sh
#! -*-perl-*-
eval 'exec perl -x -wS $0 ${1+"$@"}'
if 0;
as a means of avoiding /usr/bin/env. This is handy because on at least
one system I used, AIX 3.2.5 perhaps, env(1) was only in /bin and not
/usr/bin; /bin/sh always existed.
Cheers, Ralph.
