Pointing to a specific perl binary makes sense if distributing a script to a system where you may not have control over the PATH.
Or if you want to make sure it uses a specific (non system) perl install that has modules installed that are not available in general distributions or have libraries linked that are specific to the script or …
Personally I always use #!/pro/bin/perl, which is where I have my production perl installed. If I do not need anything specific, and system-perl will do (which is seldom the case), I make /pro/bin/perl a symlink to the required perl. TIMTOWTDI

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
