I'm trying to envision a way to do that that's less verbose than putting the boilerplate into each script to begin with. :-)

For example, let's say each script has its own wrapper... That is, "script1" is really just a wrapper that sets up PERL5LIB and then invokes "script1.real". In that case, you've got 2x the number of scripts (one wrapper, one real) and each wrapper effectively has the boilerplate in it.

Even with a virtualized wrapper (i.e. one that you symlink to, that decides what to exec on the basis of $0), you've got N scripts and N symlinks.

Is this what you meant, or did I misunderstand?
