Re^4: Why is lib/perl5 not added to INC for perls installed using perlbrew

"Such that I can have my scripts work seamlessly by just pointing the shebang to the perl bin. E.g. $PERLBREW_ROOT/perls/perl-5.32.0/bin/perl in this case."

I start all of my scripts with the following shebang. This includes those I write for myself, scripts I post here, and those I write for work in a production environment.

#!/usr/bin/env perl
[download]

That may work for you also. See perlrun for more details about this.

Yep, this is what I do too, and it means that the script will just run under whatever version of Perl I've most recently selected in Perlbrew. That's usually what I want. toby döt ink	[reply]

I start all of my scripts with the following shebang. [...] `#!/usr/bin/env perl` [download] Digging into the details, this starts the env program, which then searches for the first perl executable in `$ENV{PATH}`. So this increases the startup time slightly. Also, `env` is not always in `/usr/bin`. Some Linux distributions put it into `/bin` and add a symlink in `/usr/bin`. Some other Unixes have `env` only in `/bin`, with no symlink in `/usr/bin`. In that case, all of your scripts will simply fail. See also far more you ever wanted to know about #!.
