Comment:

 gdt,

 I thought this line is ignored if perl is called explicitly.  I think this
 is why I had the issue in #3639 which I fixed by explicitly calling the
 PERL we are using in r15135.

 That said, I'm going to reject this patch and mark this ticket as a
 duplicate of #3639 for 2 reasons

 1) Have no idea it's effect on other systems, and too scared to apply so
 close to release time
 2) If we change this perl script, I would have to argue why aren't we
 changing the header of all the .pl scripts in utils folder which all have
 - #!/usr/bin/perl


 So if we revisit this, I think we should have a patch that changes all the
 perl scripts.
