Hola~
The problem I found with env was that the shell incorrectly passes args to
env:
% head -1 t348.sh
#! /usr/bin/env perl -w
% ./t348.sh
env: perl -w: No such file or directory
How does one get around this? Please don't say, "Don't use perl."

VIZZINI: You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is
never get involved in a land war in Asia. But only slightly less
well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on
the line. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha--
