Greetings! I have been using my Win98 box to modify some scripts that will be run on a Unix server. Within the body of the script, I can surround OS-specific things like test code I want my machine to execute and calls that throw errors under Win98 like flock() with checks to see what operating system I am using.
But is there a way to differentiate between the two operating systems on the first line? On my box, it's "#!perl". On the Unix box, it's "#!usr/bin/perl". What I'll probably end up doing is uninstalling Perl from my box and reinstalling it in a folder named usr/bin, but I'd rather not do that. Is there any way I can have two different paths to the Perl executable, and let my script decide which to use? On the face of it, this looks like a ridiculous question. How can the Perl executable decide where the Perl executable is before Perl starts executing? But maybe there's some trick with the registry or environmental variables or something that will help.
