This was introduced relatively recently:


I'm not sure without further investigation whether it has to be exactly
that way (due to the fact it's to be used by miniperl during the build
process) or whether it was added as an editor hint, or some other
reason but either way, I don't think it warrants an upstream bug report.

[Trent W. Buck]

Package: perl-modules-5.32
Version: 5.32.1-3
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/perl/5.32.1/ExtUtils/Miniperl.pm

While auditing shebangs for something else, I found this silly one:

$ sed -n 1p /usr/share/perl/*/ExtUtils/Miniperl.pm
#!./perl -w

Can you get upstream to either remove it or change it to something sensible?

It doesn't really *matter*, it just looks so silly I had to say something!
