The bang line does start with #! as it should. Boy if it where
anything else it wold never work :). I know your just trying to help.
That said, it doesn't work unless it is removed completely, or unless
it is set to #!/usr/bin/perl. It is almost like the wxPerl binary is
reading the bang line, but it shouldn't because that is there for the
OS shell to use so it can figure out what interpreter to call.

The solution was to change the bang line at the top of the script.
Even though I was launching the script manually with "wxPerl
Alchemist" (Alchemist is the name of the script), it was for some
reason using what was in the bang line (which was /usr/local/bin/
wxPerl -w), and relaunching itself over and over again. If I
remove the bang line, or set it to /usr/bin/perl it works OK, but /
usr/bin/perl is the default 5.10.0 version that came with Snow
Leopard, not the newly compiled version in /usr/local. I'm
mystified, but at least its working.
FYI, if I put the /usr/local/bin/wxPerl back in the bang line and
try to run the script by just executing it (i.e. ./Alchemist) it
fails as well.
Is there something up with the wxPerl binary that is causing this?
Hi Daniell,
the bang line should start with #!
so that should be
#! /usr/local/bin/wxPerl
