I've been getting sent a lot of problems lately by folks
who just copy the perl binary around and find it doesn't
work, or install it somewhere that's too long. There are
too many interdependencies and if you don't do make install,
you're hosed. Can we (Andy?) either document this better
or else maybe make a make target that packages it properly (very doubtful)?

Summary: Invoking perl via #! convention when perl installed on AFS.
Keywords: AFS perl shell
When my script uses '#!/afs/.../perl', perl is not invoked.
Instead (apparently) the shell tries to execute the perl script.
Generally failing quickly!
I found that if I link /usr/local/bin/perl to the AFS binary,
and use '#!/usr/local/bin/perl' things work ok.
Any ideas? Thanks.
