Perl is much more frequently run with arguments on the shebang line, typically "#!/usr/bin/perl -w", and "#!/usr/bin/env perl -w" isn't portable to systems other than FreeBSD (which has an extension of traditional shebang handling) so is unlikely to get wide acceptance. <http://www.uni-ulm.de/~s_smasch/various/shebang/>; is recommended.
