That's not a standard place though and requires you to change the path
in the #! of the script. But it's true, of course, and that's what I do
under Solaris. (Apart from writing C programs)

Well, most of them are behaving in the same way on most systems, given
of course that all modules are installed which are involved in the
computation of the script. But at least for the Perl case, using CPAN
resolves this ok, and using pkgsrc even makes it sustainable.

Blastwave also has some Perl packages, etc. The only annoying thing is
that the path of Perl is so dynamic. If you want the Perl that ships
with Solaris (the above example), use /usr/bin/perl, but don't expect
any good modules. If you want them, you have to use /opt/csw/bin/perl
or /usr/pkg/bin/perl, depending on if you use Blastwave or pkgsrc.

Oh well.
