Thanks Beau ..

This works !!

But the command line "/blah/blah/local/bin/perl" doesn't seem to override any
#! definition.
I am not sure what you mean by overriding the she-bang line. perl will 
treat the '#!' line only as a comment (she-bang processing is done by 
the kernel)
Can you clarify?

I tried some dirty definitions like #! /bin/opt,   #!  /opt/bin/opt  etc  & it
didn't work and I was shown :
I guess /bin/opt and /opt/bin/opt are directories

Can't exec /opt/bin/opt at diamond.pl line 1.

Why ??

Thanks again,
Ravi

Subject: Urgent : Can I override #! defn. through any command line option ??
   

Hi all :

My perl programme has a PERL path defined at its header through #!
/rem/depot/local/bin/perl
But I would like to run the same code with some other versions of PERL
that are in different paths.
Could I override the #! definition through any PERL command line option
or through any other means ??
Please advise.

Thanks in advance

Ravi Shankar

     

Ravi:

You and always execute your script by first specifying the
Perl executable:
/some/othet/perl/bin/perl script.pl

This completely bypasses the she-boom line in your
script.
Aloha => Beau;
