Re: New switches for perl(1)

You've hardcoded your path to your perl binary in the script. Maybe that's OK, because it's hardwired in the shebang line as well... but personally, I would still prefer use of the special variable $^X, anyway. In your case, it also will contain the value '/usr/bin/perl'. But it will make less problems for maintenance, for people whose perl is in another location.

exec { $^X } $^X, @arg;

I briefly thought about this actually. Didn't know about $^X though - I guess I should crack the cover on perlvar again sometime. :) Thanks for the suggestion, accepted.
