Re^2: How can I control perl binaries

Even better, prepend the path to your favorite perl to $PATH, so it will be found before any others in your path.

sh$ PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/home/me/bin
sh$ which perl
/usr/bin/perl
sh$ PATH=/home/me/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
sh$ which perl
/home/me/bin/perl

Re^3: How can I control perl binaries by Dan.Pinvidic (Initiate) on Jun 25, 2012 at 17:51 UTC
Good point on using -e in a #! line. Guess I got hung up on that. This wrapper script is put inplace by our IT department so the correct binary will be run based on the users machine. And after getting input from this group, I think we are OK. the -w can be put into the actual perl script with "use strict". All of the other "real" command line options seem to pass thru the wrapper correctly when they are actually present on a command line from STD_IN. So I did learn a little more of how the #! line works. Thanks for the feedback. Dan	[reply]
