Hi,
I see that in MacPerl (not perl for OS X), $Config{startperl} is set to
"Perl -Sx \"{0}\" {\"Parameters\"}; Exit {Status}\n#!perl"
in Config.pm . I'm not sure what that extra stuff is before the
shebang, but when I run a script that contains that (using
MacPerl 5.6.1), I just get a perl syntax error. When I remove
it, all is well.
Can anyone enlighten about what that first line is for?
Schwern and I have been working on getting Module::Build to
support MacOS natively, because (1) then MacOS won't have to use
different module-building procedures from the rest of the world,
and (2) it's a good cross-platform proving ground since it's so
different from Unix.
