I have need to use Rational's "CQPerl" which appears to be a derivative 
of Active State Perl that allows me to use Perl to access Clearquest. 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.

Ideas?
