The project preference always has been to replace #!/usr/bin/$prog when installing to match the system's path, without having to assume that "env" is available and is installed in /usr/bin/ We are not installing this thing (yet), so how about giving an instruction to run "perl contrib/contacts/git-contacts", only assuming that the user is intelligent enough to be able to react to "perl: not found" by installing it on their path?
