And I want a pony :-) In other words, it's an impossible dream to hope that all scripts will conform to this or any of the other possible choices (remember the perl motto). Even making everything perl in the ports collection use a uniform style is probably an infeasible task (recall 840 ports use /usr/bin/perl, and that's not counting the others that use another hardcoded variant of /usr/local/bin/perl).
