That would be a great solution ... except that /bin/env is not
in the same place on the Mac!

Interestingly

#!env perl

works on the Mac, but unfortunately fails on the Sun.

It's not clear to me that one could have a universal way to do this,
though it would be nice!

By the way, atchange does work on the new Intel-based MacBook Pro.
