Finding interpreter 1

[blarneyme]

I have different operating systems and HP-UX places Perl in /usr/contrib/bin, so how do I set the first line so it knows where to find the interpreter? (Creating a link isn't possible.)

For the other OS's I have

#!/usr/bin/perl

but this err's on HP-UX.

Placing

#!/usr/contrib/bin/perl

works for HP-UX but not AIX, BSD, Solaris, and Linux.

Hi

Have you read [tt]man perlrun[/tt] ? It shows some tricks for shebang manipulation.

What about creating an alias ?

alias yourscript.pl='/usr/contrib/bin/perl yourscript.pl'

ln -s /usr/bin/perl /usr/contrib/bin/perl

..should do the trick
