according to http://www.uni-ulm.de/~s_smasch/various/shebang/
the input isn't piped but rather the name of the file is passed. In
addition to ensuring the run program doesn't misinterpret the #! line the
current directory is also kept where it is even if the script is being
invoked by ../../script.hs (for example) so you either need to somehow
pass include path arguments or have all your imports being absolute paths.

HTH,
