/* we don't use COMSPEC here for two reasons:
	 *  1. the same reason perl on UNIX doesn't use SHELL--rampant and
	 *     uncontrolled unportability of the ensuing scripts.
	 *  2. PERL5SHELL could be set to a shell that may not be fit for
	 *     interactive use (which is what most programs look in COMSPEC
	 *     for).
