Personally, I would count on /usr/bin/perl. It seems unusual to take such
an important key to lots of system-based scripts and keep it local. Check
out this:
file /usr/bin/* | grep perl
That should also give you good sample code :)
I highly recommend the O'Reilly Camel book. Ain't nothing better.

Ahh, I was programming BASIC in '84. Commodore BASIC. Back when it was all
upper case... Ah for the old days when joystick programming wasn't that
tough...

If everything is coming your way then you're in the wrong lane.
