Re: A shebang line conundrum

Here's a unique workaround that I've come across in the past-- replace #!/usr/local/bin/perl or #!/usr/bin/perl (or whatever) with the following:

eval 'exec perl -S $0 "$@"'
if 0;

# Rest of code goes here

Hope it helps.

Should have mentioned this in the original post, but the SGI machines have two versions of perl. Unfortunately, "perl" on the SGIs invokes the old 4.x version; otherwise this solution would work great. Thanks	[reply]

You can say this: `#!/usr/bin/env perl` [download] If you make sure the right perl is first in your path, it will run that. This is all in the perlrun manpage.	[reply] [d/l]
