Perhaps the code in those scripts was taken from an earlier version of
the output of "perldoc perlrun". The current version
<https://perldoc.perl.org/perlrun.html> gives several alternative script
headers (including at least one that appears to be a joke) and say that
none work everywhere. It is a bit of a portability mess. Perhaps we
should just prepend "#!/bin/sh" or "#!/usr/bin/env perl" (not sure
which) and let people on weird systems fix things by hand.
