#!/bin/sh perl -I /some/special/libpath:/another/special/libpath "$@"
Drop in an exec to get rid of a needless /bin/sh instance:
#!/bin/sh exec perl -I /some/special/libpath:/another/special/libpath "$@"
And if you have more than one perl, specify which one you want to start. Also do this if you are not sure what $ENV{'PATH'} may contain.
#!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/perl-5.42.99/bin/perl -I /some/special/libpath:/anothe +r/special/libpath "$@"
But then again, cbeckley++ is right, perl can do fine without a shell:
#!/usr/local/perl-5.42.99/bin/perl use lib '/some/special/libpath','/another/special/libpath'; # rest of the script here, unmodified
Perl does not even mind if you prefix those two lines to an existing script, the shebang (#!) line of the existing script will be parsed as a comment.
If you don't want to modify scripts, you can also use a perl script as a wrapper:
#!/usr/local/perl-5.42.99/bin/perl use lib '/some/special/libpath','/another/special/libpath'; require '/path/to/real/script.pl';
(untested)
This simple one assumes that script.pl returns a true value. Alternatively, use do $filename, but that needs more code for error handling:
#!/usr/local/perl-5.42.99/bin/perl use lib '/some/special/libpath','/another/special/libpath'; unless (defined(do '/path/to/real/script.pl')) { die "Could not parse script: $@" if $@; die "Could not read script: $!"; }
(untested)
Generally, if you run a script as root or setuid root, consider adding -T to the shebang line to enable taint mode (see perlsec).
