Hello Anant, #!/usr/bin/perl is a *shebang* and is useful only in unix-like systems where it refers to the location of the interpreter. Under other systems the interpreter ignores this line as a comment. Shebang lines are useful to execute a script directly without having to specify the interpreter.
Consider a script named main.pl which can be executed under unix-like systems as: perl main.pl or ./main.pl # system checks the shebang line for the interpreter to use For more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix) Regards, Alan Haggai Alavi. -- The difference makes the difference. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
