Unix-Shebang version 0.314 Shebang you say? This term also uncommonly and commonly called hashbang or hashpling is the pair of characters in the first line of a file that causes Unix-like operating systems to execute the file using the interpreter specified by the rest of the line. A shebang consists of the two characters, C<#> and C followed by the full path of the interpreter program and it's arguments. This is a great feature for us interpreter-loving creatures, but it certainly has its limitations, especially when it comes to script distribution. One common problem when juggling different perl installations on the same system, or even when using a different perl location than the more common C is the tedious job of changing the interpreter path in the first line of the script. This module can be used by module authors and end users alike to set the interpreter to the running perl (or a custom perl interpreter) upon installation of a distribution. INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Or if you prefer to use the Module::Build installation method: perl Build.pl ./Build ./Build test ./Build install DEPENDENCIES IO::File File::Spec Getopt::Long; These should be standard with any modern versions of perl, but if you happen to be living in a cave somewhere you probably could fetch them on the CPAN.
