Ok, I'm not having any problems with Perl, this question is just for personal gain and knowledgement.

Everybody knows the "#" sign is for comments and stuff because Perl ignores the line completely. Why does the most important line to Perl, the "shbang" line, start with a "#"?

I've always wondered that since I started learning Perl, but never asked.

Bingo, thanks Paul! I guess that explains why none of my Perl books ever explained that. It's a UNIX thing.

Thanks again!
