Our current method to run perl, is a wrapper script which determines what machine you are on, and finaly calls the correct PERL executable. The script begins with #!/usr/bin/sh. Now my personal perl script begins with: #!/usr/bin/env /bin/perl_wrapper -w this problem is a Unix problem where the -w is interpreted as a file name, and I get a -w file not found error. If I remove the -w, the nested scripts work fine. Is there another method to have the first line of my personal PERL script call a wrapper (for binary selection) and still pass perl options. Or a bteer way to select the right binary? Users may want specific perl versions. Thanks, Dan 

 #!/usr/bin/env perl_wrap -w
#Above line fails with -w not found
#!/usr/bin/env perl_wrap 
#Above line works fine
