The first line in the script is:

#!@PERL5@ -w

which is added to the  script by the patch-aa file in the pkgsrc version of ddclient.  The first couple of lines of the patch file are:

@@ -1,3 +1,2 @@
-#!/usr/bin/perl -w
-#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
+#!@PERL5@ -w

Unfortunately I know nothing about perl so I have no idea why this is being used rather than something like #!/usr/pkg/bin/perl.

thanks,

Steve
