Determining the PATH to PERL

All scripts on a Linux or Unix, later referred to as *nix, server must have the path to the program which actually compiles and executes the code in the script. This path declaration is always on the first line of the script. The path declaration is always prefixed with the shebang.

A shebang is the following two ASCII characters: #!
