Subject: showtable explicity looks for /usr/bin/perl5
The 'showtable' script that is installed as part of Data::ShowTable has its interpreter line (hash-bang line) hard-coded to look for /usr/bin/perl5. While some installs of Perl will copy or link /usr/bin/perl or /usr/bin/perlX.Y.Z to /usr/bin/perlX (assuming X = 5), most do not and this will cause errors. The patch is simple: --- Data-ShowTable-3.3.orig/showtable Tue Feb 25 22:15:48 1997 +++ Data-ShowTable-3.3/showtable Wed Feb 2 15:57:02 2005 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -#!/usr/bin/perl5 +#!/usr/bin/perl # showtable - read data and show it # # Copyright (C) 1996,1997 Alan K.

Sorry, misspoke. Fixed since 4.1.
