Is it possible to make the same PERL script work on two machines that
keep PERL in different places without having to manually include perl
before each command execution?

On machine A, PERL lives in /usr/contributed/bin.  On machine B, it's in
/usr/local/bin.  I have access to the same file on both A and B, but
have to specify "perl perl-script args" on machine B since the files
begin with #!/usr/contributed/bin/perl.  I can't use any kind of csh
magic-number hack because (as I found out long ago) PERL mucks with the
magic number.

Suggestions?  Or was this too confusing...

Rudy
