 {{{

 Hello
 }}}

 A recent Perl is installed in Haiku, it's just in a different place than
 most Unixes.

 {{{
 ~> which perl
 /boot/common/bin/perl
 }}}

 That's why I'm asking for Perl shebangs to be changed to the more general
 {{{ /usr/bin/env perl }}}, or even better, simply {{{ perl }}}. In the
 boot script, the {{{ system }}} call should also be modified.
