I encountered a problem with the shebang line using openSUSE.

For testing purposes, I narrowed this down to one of the simplest of scripts (test_shebang.pl):

#!/usr/bin/env perl -l

print 'Hello, world!';
[download]

When I attempt to run this, I get:

ken@ibm-laptop:~/tmp> test_shebang.pl
/usr/bin/env: perl -l: No such file or directory
[download]

It's not a $PATH or permission issue:

ken@ibm-laptop:~/tmp> echo $PATH
<list of unrelated paths>:.
ken@ibm-laptop:~/tmp> which test_shebang.pl
/home/ken/tmp/test_shebang.pl
ken@ibm-laptop:~/tmp> ls -l test_shebang.pl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ken users 48 Mar 24 10:29 test_shebang.pl
[download]

I've checked for any problematic characters that might have been present, but found none:

ken@ibm-laptop:~/tmp> cat -vet test_shebang.pl
#!/usr/bin/env perl -l$
$
print 'Hello, world!';$
$
[download]

When changing the shebang line to any of the following, the scripts run with expected output (i.e. prints "Hello, world!" with or without "\n"):

#!/usr/bin/env perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -l
#!/usr/bin/perl
[download]

The '-l' switch appears to work correctly from the command line:

ken@ibm-laptop:~/tmp> perl -e 'print "Hello, world!"'
Hello, world!ken@ibm-laptop:~/tmp>
[download]

ken@ibm-laptop:~/tmp> perl -le 'print "Hello, world!"'
Hello, world!
[download]

The platform is "openSUSE Leap 42.1" and the Software Updates notification is telling me "Your system is up to date" (after running "Check For Updates"). Other relevant info:

ken@ibm-laptop:~/tmp> perl -v | head -2 | tail -1

I'm using a borrowed laptop (the owner is not currently contactable) and I'm not overfamiliar with openSUSE: perhaps I just need to tweak a setting. Neither Super Search nor Internet searches have proved fruitful.

Any help would be appreciated.
