I have a perl script that does what I want however if I symlink that script the symlinked invocation does not work! I've drastically reduced the Perl script to simply demonstrate the problem: $ cat foo #!c:/Progra~1/Rational/ClearQuest/CQPerl print "Hello world\n"; $ foo Hello world $ ls -l bar lrwxrwxrwx 1 adefaria Domain U 86 Feb 21 10:38 bar -> foo* $ bar Can't open perl script "./bar": No such file or directory Now if I change the shebang line to #!/bin/perl then everything works but as I said I need to use CQPerl.
