Hi Florian, Thanks for the patch. I'm concerned about using /usr/bin/perl as so many people now use perlbrew to install more recent Perl's over the top of the system Perl. As far as Debian is concerned, would it be acceptable to make the shebang lines: #!/usr/bin/env perl -w That way the script picks up whichever Perl the user normally uses. Would that work for you?

sure, that should work as well. I believe Jay's primary concern was lacking shebang lines or ones specifying a nonexistant interpreter. My concern was a Debian package carrying a patch for over a decade that should really be incorporated upstream... Florian
