Subject: Please remove env from the shebang
I don't know why it is so wide-spread that people have env in the shebang line. Maybe because nobody complains because 99% of the users have only one perl? I have another pending ticket that getw warnocked (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=88661) Here is the user story how this is unfortunate: % /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/v5.21.10/165a/bin/passphrase Can't locate Crypt/XkcdPassword.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Crypt::XkcdPassword module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.20.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20 /usr/share/perl/5.20 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.20.0 .) at /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/v5.21.10/165a/bin/passphrase line 8. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/v5.21.10/165a/bin/passphrase line 8. See, all searched paths are 5.20, but I called a 5.21.10. So I must write: % /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/v5.21.10/165a/bin/perl -MCrypt::XkcdPassword -E 'say Crypt::XkcdPassword->make_password' superficial bite lawyer discussion So here is the culprit: % head -1 /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/v5.21.10/165a/bin/passphrase #!/usr/bin/env perl Let me remove the env part and write the full path to my perl there. This work would be done by MakeMaker if env would not overrule it. % head -1 /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/v5.21.10/165a/bin/passphrase #!/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/v5.21.10/165a/bin/perl Now it works: % /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/v5.21.10/165a/bin/passphrase programming dollars truman prevent Heh, this program regularly makes password setting so essential:) Thanks,

Or people use perlbrew for their custom perls, and get a customized PATH where the env trick works.
