Is it really possible to find any executable without path resolution? |
| 24 |
Only ./myapp doesn't require the shell to use the $PATH variable, but |
| 25 |
does use the current (absolute) path ($CWD) in order to start the myapp |
| 26 |
binary. |

|

Using "#!/usr/bin/env perl" in a script instead of "#!/usr/bin/perl" |
| 29 |
allows perl to be in any location in the path environment. |
