in reply to Dynamically choosing the perl path

Welcome dumb_fellow,

I have the same situation with AIX and Linux servers. I have found that the easiest method for me is to have the common shebang to be:

#!/usr/local/bin/pyrperl
You can use any name i.e. 'myGoodPerl', etc. This allows you to define using a symbolic link which Perl to use. The script is the same on all machines, but the symbolic link is set-up once. I hope I explained this properly, since I try not to use the AIX or Linux default Perls, but to always use a Perl that I compiled and installed.

I never type 'perl', but always 'pyrperl', so on all machines I'm working with a known and tested Perl. YMMV.

Regards...Ed
