While installing latest PERL that was posted to the net I noticed the following:

	- It provided a lot of tests and examples as a part of package.  This
	  is great, but the '#! ....' had a path name that was hardcoded,
	  /usr/bin/perl.

I think it should be dynamic, in the sense that it should be driven by the
INSTALL directory.  It so happens that my install directory is not in /usr/bin
but somewhere else, necessitating a manual edit of all the files to change
this path.  It could be done automatically after running the 'Configure'
script.  Just my two cents worth to make PEARL :-> installation easier.
