Re^2: Persistant Perl arguments ( pperl )

Thanks for the reply mischief, however your example uses "/usr/bin/perl" not "/usr/bin/pperl". Maybe I don't understand, but heres the scenario. This script will be called as a cgi file, so I can not run via the command line, but I still need to get that --prefork=25 option whenever apache hits the file. Your example uses /usr/bin/perl and just ignores the option. If I use your method with /usr/bin/pperl I get the following.

#!/usr/bin/pperl -- --prefork=25
print "\n\nHELLO\n";

Output:

Can't open perl script "--prefork=25": No such file or directory
pperl: perl script failed to start: No such file or directory

Let me know if I'm not making any sense!

On further examination, it looks like you can't use pperl properly from the shebang line. It appears to be intended to launch a separate program to be named on the command line only. See my update at Re: Persistant Perl arguments ( pperl ) for more info.	[reply]
