I use different computers where Perl is installed different places, so I can't hardcode the location of perl in the shebang line. Thus, I use env, which works great on all UNIXes I work on, for instance
#!/usr/bin/env perl -w print "This is Perl version $]\n"; but on Cygwin I get /usr/bin/env: perl -w: No such file or directory why does Cygwin look for the file "perl -w". No UNIX I have worked on would parse the shebang line that way.
