In general, I think that "#!/usr/bin/env perl" is a terrible idea for
any script as it makes that script dependent on the PATH. That's even
worse for perlbrew and a daemon, which is usually started at boot time
and cannot rely on the PATH containing anything except the system
default.

That said, "make install" replaces the shebang line with a path to the
correct perl interpreter anyway, so it doesn't matter what's in the
source.=20
