Personally, I would count on /usr/bin/perl. It seems unusual to take such an important key to lots of system-based scripts and keep it local. Check out this: file /usr/bin/* | grep perl That should also give you good sample code :) I highly recommend the O'Reilly Camel book.

Back when it was all upper case...
