Zecho has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

The project I am cutting my molars on is meant to be template based, with it's own setup script (for distribution to people who dont know perl or cgi). Here's my dilemma. The first thing I want to happen when the project is installed is for a config page to come up, I would like for it to check environment variables and attempt to pre-fill as much of the config info as possible for installation on remote servers etc. where this info might not be readily available. How do I get a perl script to locate perl? hehe I know that this isn't possible, so what avenues are left?
