What does that matter? It's still short sited.

And what does #! look like? (And I'll ask for completion's sake as you 
never seems to be thorough nor accurate in your answers), what does ls 
<portion after #! in your script> return? Oh and what is PATH set to?

to be executed (i.e. C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe?).
