Re: [PATCH review] Build: make PERL_PATH = /usr/bin/env perl

From: David Christensen <hidden>

If you do this, you will have to modify the perl scripts to remove the
-w flag from their hash-bang line.  "/usr/bin/env perl -w" does not
seem to do the expected thing.
Insofar as compatibility is concerned, perl's -w flag is equivalent  
to the 'use warnings' language pragma, which has been supported since  
5.6 (circa 2000).  Seeing as perl's Unicode support did not really  
mature until 5.8, I imagine that adding the 'use warnings' pragma and  
doing away with the -w flag would be a reasonable approach to take.

Regards,

David
