Thanks for all the replies!

I just want to make sure I have it absolutely right:

1. Use #!/usr/bin/env perl in my scripts

2. Put a line in my Mac /Users/Me/.bash_profile that reads "export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Thanks for the other suggestsions. I don't have anything close to root access on the server so a symlink won't really work and I don't think I need more than one extra perl installation. The alternate shebang notation seems like the right fit for me.

Thanks again!
