in reply to "indir" in shebang line

Nothing important :)

perl shebang indir

If I recall correctly, 'indir' was a program designed to indirectly execute other programs. My recollection is that it was supposed to be particularly useful in setuid situations where the OS didn't natively provide you much help, and/or perhaps in situations where the OS kernel limited you to 32 character command lines.
