Oh, awesome. My inclination is to point out that Solaris-Athena is
desupported and just change the shebang to #!/usr/bin/perl like on any
sane system, but if people care strongly about Solaris-Athena
compatibility, you could probably add a couple lines at the top to re-exec
the script with locker perl if the running interpreter is too old.
Thanks for looking into this.
