Subject: bug or feature: `eval' vs `#!'
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello:

Under Win98 script files with as first line

eval '(exit $?0)' && eval 'exec perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}' && eval 'exec perl
-S $0 $ argv:q'

contrary to script files with bang mechanism (`#! <executable>')
are not identify as executable (and we cannot set them executable with
`chmod'),
and therefore the completion mechanism does NOT work for them.



Is it a bug or a feature ?

Byebye,
Jerome BENOIT
