Yes. The cygwin bash prompt will scan the first line of potential
scripts to see if they contain the shebang line. Apache also
(independently) supports use of the shebang line, but won't support
cygwin's symlinks. For example, I'd like run this command:
{tim /usr/local/bin}$ ln -s /perl/bin/perl perl
So that I can use:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
in my scripts so I don't have to change them when I upload them to one
of our hosts. (awc.net) If I try to make a hard link with cygwin, it
just copies the file (plus it loses the contents of @INC); I guess the
FAT system won't support multiple hard links to the same file?
Anyway, if anyone has any input to this problem, I'd like to hear it. I
can't change the installation directory of perl because I have to
satisfy (read: dupe) too many hosts right now.
TIA,
