Andre'> #!perl does not work at all, I think, even if perl is in
Andre'> $PATH. In this place an absolute path is required.
To enter a bit in this discussion, let me say that the problem is not
to find perl, but to know how perl >= 5.002 is named. At my site,
'perl' is perl 4.0036 to avoid breaking a lot of old scripts that
people use. Therefore perl 5.002 is perl5.
Thus, getting the right version of perl (which is important for reLyX,
but maybe not for lyxexport...) has to be done separately, unless the
test which is done by configure can be done at each startup (but this
would take a lot of time...).
