"$PERL" means the content of the variable is used as the command to execute. $PERL, on the other hand, goes through a round of word splitting, that in your case results in the command "/usr/bin/env", with the arguments "perl", "-p", ... Thus, if it is possible to use /usr/bin/env, the current "$PERL" incantation is incorrect. -- Luciano Rocha <luciano@xxxxxxxxxxx> Eurotux Informática, S.A. <http://www.eurotux.com/>
