Huh, works here too, indeed. But there's one little thing. If you just copypasted this from my email, then you probably miss "#!"
(there's just "#", since i retyped the header, and made a typo). And with this typo it really works for some reason. Could you make
sure once again ?
Apparently it has to do with -e switch.
