Thanks Beau .. This works !!
But the command line "/blah/blah/local/bin/perl" doesn't seem to override any #! definition. I tried some dirty definitions like #! /bin/opt, #! /opt/bin/opt etc & it didn't work and I was shown : Can't exec /opt/bin/opt at diamond.pl line 1. Why ?? Thanks again, Ravi "Beau E.
