$ shtool subst -e 's;^#!/usr/bin/perl;#!/opkg/bin/perl;' *.pl If you constantly update from CVS you better undo this change before the update and redo afterwards to avoid conflicts. Usually this shouldn't be a big problem because software should be *installed* before use and most "make install" procedures allow you to set the prefix. > Also, Ralf Engelschall replied to my environment saying thats OK just > to run a OpenPKG binary giving the full path, so coult I just use > #!/opkg/bin/perl ? > Yes.

They come from the %common and %env sections in $PREFIX/etc/rc.d/*.rc and from the $PREFIX/etc/rc.conf file.

And yes, the next upgrade might catch you. The beauty of OpenPKG is that neither a OS upgrade will break your OpenPKG environment nor will an OpenPKG upgrade break your OS.
