Actually the perl man page recommends the following "devious construct" as
the most portable way to start your perl script:
eval '(exit $?0)' && eval 'exec /usr/bin/perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'
& eval 'exec /usr/bin/perl -S $0 $argv:q'
if 0;
#!here starts the perl code
I've used this on Linux, Solaris, and NT (with "perl filename"), all with
perl in odd locations, and it works fine.
