in reply to NEW! perl script inside a shell script?? in thread perl script inside a shell script
(I realize I'm responding to an old post)
#! /bin/sh
# the shell script can be arbitrarily long
echo $SHELL
echo line filtered by pearl | perl -x $0
exit
# the previous line must not be removed
(this is a void in the script as the shell nor perl will execute)
# the following must not be removed
#! perl
# it can also be the full path of perl - the -x only looks for a #! and perl on the line though.
# the following perl script must be come last but can be arbitrarily long
while (<>) {
s/pearl/perl/;
}
