(perl) Thank you both for your answers. I'm not much of a scripter but I tried your suggestion with the webmin script. I found that the actual file is /usr/local/lib/webmin/miniserv.pl and edited the beginning of the file as such: #!/usr/bin/perl # A very simple perl web server used by Webmin $0='webmin' # Require basic libraries package miniserv; However when starting the program it dies with the following message: syntax error at /usr/local/lib/webmin/miniserv.pl line 7, near "package miniserv" BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at /usr/local/lib/webmin/miniserv.pl line 8. Is there something really easy I'm missing? If it's complicated I'm going to forget it as it's not that important.
