Does it have any disadvantage to set it from "#! perl" to
"#!/usr/bin/perl"?

Also: "#! parrot"  ->   "#!/usr/bin/parrot"\\

I would oppose both of those. Whenever a new version of Perl 5 comes out, I build it from source. By default, it gets installed as /usr/local/bin/perl. So I wouldn't want any Perl 5 program in the distro to have such a hard-coded shebang line.

And, as for /usr/bin/parrot: I see that Rakudo Star by default installs its parrot underneath the directory where the tarball is processed. Given how unstable parrot and rakudo are expected to be in the medium term, I think that's an appropriate choice. Let people who want to have parrot under /usr/bin/ or (better) /usr/local/bin/ explicitly request that.

But, Gerd, what do you think about the permissions, as distinct from the shebang lines?

(Me, I'm leaning toward 0644.)

Thank you very much.
