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 (`#! ') 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 ?
