in thread Using perl to speed up a series of bash commands by transforming them into a single command that will run everything in parallel.

Are you perhaps seeing mostly Linux systems? All major Linux distros seem to link /bin/sh to /bin/bash, as you said, but I haven't seen that very often outside the Linux realm. e.g., HP-UX doesn't install bash at all by default and instead has ksh as its standard shell.
