Re^2: how to invoke a different perl interpreter based on user ENV variable

Of course that wouldn't work, silly me. You'd just be continually exec'ing, without passing arguments as well. You'd need to stretch it out with more code:

#!c:/perl/bin/perl -w

if (defined($ARGV[0]) and $ARGV[0] eq 'skip') {
  shift @ARGV;
}
else {
  exec $ENV{TEST_PERLROOT}, $0, 'skip', @ARGV
    if $ENV{TEST_PERLROOT};
}

print 'My arguments: ', join(', ', @ARGV), $/;

excellent. this works. I'll also look at par. I wanted to avoid having users messing with their PATH unless that was the last option. Thanks to all! - bill	[reply]
