I'm trying to make a perl script an executable script.

However, it seems that ESIX does not support the #!/usr/local/bin/perl
notation.

I tried
: use /usr/local/bin/perl

and that didn't work either!  When I use the ':' notation, the script is
executed under normal 'sh'.  For example, if I'm using csh, putting a ':' 
on the first line of a Bourne shell script makes it work properly.

What do I need to do so that I don't have to type 'perl script' to run
my perl script?  No, I don't want to use an alias.

Thanks.
