Well it still wasn't as far as I can tell the intended use of env.

Besides if you don't know where perl is, do this:

#!/bin/sh
exec perl -x
#!perl -W -otherperloptions
print "Hello World!\n";

For things other than perl, well what can you do.  Besides how is
/usr/bin/perl wrong?  I think that is where the Linux FHS says it should
be.
