I'm not either, but in the absence of other followup in the last 13 hours,
I will venture a guess:
Wintel doesn't support shebangs either, but the Wintel version of Apache
does. Indeed, the comments in the config file of Apache 1 about using the
file type associations are missing in version two, so shebangs may be the
_only_ way to go.
Maybe shebangs are worth a try in VMS?
But there's the further question of the "execute" bit. I'm not sure it's
quite true that VMS does not have one (see "help set security/protection"),
but it _is_ true that the semantics are different than Unix (see your
absolutely true comment re DCL and shebang lines). If shebanging the script
doesn't work, maybe it's worth setting the "E" bits anyway?
If you think making things into ".COM" files will help, the following
incantation (given suitable I/O redirection) will convert any Perl script
to a .COM file:
use Config;
print "$Config{startperl}\n";
while (<>) {print;}
Assuming the above is in "com-ify.pl", the following pseudo-example
converts foo.pl to foo.com:
$ perl com-ify.pl foo.pl >foo.com
This is somewhere in the bowels of the docs, but I can't say where.
