In the course of working on http://trac.parrot.org/parrot/ticket/1715, I noticed that some Perl 5 programs in tools/dev/ are executable, i.e., have 0755 permissions, whereas the others are not executable (0644). Most (all?) of these programs get installed in lib/parrot/{version}-devel/tools/dev/, retaining their permissions.

I wondered whether we ought to be installing executables. Coke opined that we could make them all executable and set their shebang lines to "#!env perl, or something equally vanilla." I suspect other Parrot devs may have ideas on this.

Suggestions?  Thank you very much.
