Use ExtUtils::MakeMaker to install scripts

[IlyaM]

Exactly. This is why for all Perl scripts I'm going to distrubute on other systems I use ExtUtils::MakeMaker which does such patching automatically.

It is very simple:

< Makefile.PL file >

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

WriteMakefile(NAME      => 'Hello',
              VERSION   => '1.00',
              EXE_FILES => ['hello']);

< MANIFEST file >

Makefile.PL
hello

< hello file >

#!perl

use strict;
use warnings;

print "Hello, world!\n";

Once finished you can type perl Makefile.PL; make dist and get tarball ready to install with tar zxvf Hello-1.00.tar.gz; cd Hello-1.00; perl Makefile.PL; make; make install

Update: Replaced 'script.pl' with 'hello' in 'MANIFEST'.
