Actually I find this pretty idiomatic, look:

   use warnings; #!/usr/bin/perl -w

No? :-) Besides this line is seldom debugged anyway (at least in my
experience) because the programmer typically sets a breakpoint with
"$DB::single=1;" directly in his/her CGI.

The other problem is that I cannot Do The Right Thing while keeping
the current API intact. I propose the attached patch as an alternative,
but it rips the ModPerl::RegistryCooker->rewrite_shebang() method
apart (hopefully nobody depends on it yet, as it is undocumented).

Actually this is what is currently done, but *before*
->rewrite_shebang() fiddles with the first line, which results in an
off-by-one.
