Hi there,

I am installing now Perl 5 on my Solaris box,

I am trying to understand this question that I am
being asked by Configure script:

I can use the #! construct to start Perl on your system. This will
make startup of Perl scripts faster, but may cause problems if you
want to share those scripts and Perl is not in a standard place
(/ids/source_3rd/perl/build/Solaris2.6/bin/perl) on all your platforms. The
alternative is to force
a shell by starting the script with a single ':' character.

I have 2 questions:
What does using the single ':' char means.??
Is there away to let the Perl script use whatever Perl specified in the
PATH??

Thanks in advance.


Mahdi.
