Is it really possible to find any executable without path resolution? Only ./myapp doesn't require the shell to use the $PATH variable, but does use the current (absolute) path ($CWD) in order to start the myapp binary. Using "#!/usr/bin/env perl" in a script instead of "#!/usr/bin/perl" allows perl to be in any location in the path environment. --=20 Fabian Groffen Gentoo for Mac OS X Project -- Interim Lead --=20 gentoo-osx@gentoo.org mailing list
