Bug #70928 for Devel-REPL: re.pl picks up wrong perl

Tue Sep 13 10:31:26 2011 zefram [...] fysh.org - Ticket created

Subject:	re.pl picks up wrong perl
Date:	Tue, 13 Sep 2011 15:31:04 +0100
To:	bug-Devel-REPL [...] rt.cpan.org
From:	Zefram <zefram [...] fysh.org>

The re.pl wrapper script starts "#!/usr/bin/env perl". This will pick up whichever perl is first in the path, which might be one that doesn't have Devel::REPL installed or has a broken version of some modules. It should instead build in the known path to the perl under which it was installed, like the cpan wrapper script and others. -zefram

This problem is still in the current version of Devel::REPL (1.003019). Solution is very probably to replace the shebang in re.pl: currently it's "#!/usr/bin/env perl", but it should be something like "#!perl". Regards, Slaven

Agreed! thanks for the poke; this fix will be in the next release.
