For what it is worth, here are the contents of every file named 'pil' in the
3.1.9 tarball.
hobbes@metalbaby:~/src/pil319/picoLisp$ find . -name pil -exec head -1000 {} +
==> ./bin/pil <==
#!/usr/bin/picolisp /usr/lib/picolisp/lib.l
(load "@lib/misc.l" "@lib/btree.l" "@lib/db.l" "@lib/pilog.l")
==> ./ersatz/pil <==
#!/bin/sh
# 29nov10abu
# Run Ersatz PicoLisp
exec java -DPID=$$ -cp .:tmp:${0%/*}/picolisp.jar PicoLisp ${0%/*}/lib.l "$@"
==> ./pil <==
#!/bin/sh
exec ${0%/*}/bin/picolisp ${0%/*}/lib.l @ext.l "$@"
NB the one that explicitly calls /usr/bin/picolisp (which is probably still the
one installed by your package manager) and interprets the rest of the file as
lisp source.
Cheers,

p.s. Here's what I use for my interactive REPL:
hobbes@metalbaby:~/src/mb.pl.emu$ cat pil
#!/bin/sh
BROWSER=x-www-browser exec ${0%/*}/bin/picolisp ${0%/*}/lib.l @ext.l
@lib/misc.l @lib/btree.l @lib/db.l @lib/pilog.l "$@"
