Two things:

1) I goofed and used the -t (TTY!?!) test instead of -T (text file)
2) If I'd gotten the -T test right, my patch would not work well with
simple shell scripts, as it would only execute the file if it's
executable and Perl thinks it's not a text file.

I think point #2 is fine in Linux/Mac/Unix -- you'd just need to use a
setting like

/bin/bash /home/myuser/myscript.sh argument1 argument2

although perhaps the -x and -T requirement should have some alternative
logic in Windows where file extensions are more important.
