    Neither do I. Well, under Unix, I most often have at the top something like
    #!/usr/bin/perl
    but I don't actually use it most of the time. My shell sripts launching my Perl programs usually have a line like this:
    perl foo.pl
    or perhaps:
    sort -someshellsortoptions file.txt | perl bar.pl
    In brief, I am usually calling Perl explicitly. And I usually don't even care about changing file permissions to executable.

    And on other systems (Windows/Dos, VMS, etc), it also works usually better this way.
