Or you can run "perl" on a fixer script and have it edit the script for
you.  That's what my solution does. It doesn't find perl, but it makes
you run the perl that you want to use, and replaces shebang with that
the path to that particular perl interpreter.

In fact, it's lifted from what MakeMaker does when you install a module
that contains executable scripts.
