[postgis-devel] postgis_restore.pl

[strk at refractions.net]

Alex, the '!' fix on utils/postgis_restore.pl actually broke
it (at least on one of my systems).

This is the test script:

-----8<-------------------------
#!/bin/sh

eval "exec perl -w $0 $@"
        if(0);

print "hello\n";
-----8<-------------------------

With  the ``!'':

$ ./test.pl
/bin/sh: -w: invalid option

Without the ``!'':

$ ./test.pl
hello

Do others have other results ?
I'd drop the ``!'' as it was in all precedent versions.

--strk;
