HashBang - Write your own language interpreters
#!/usr/bin/foo
This CPAN distribution will install a binary program on your system called 'hashbang'. You can use this program to write your own hashbang style interpreters in Perl. Let's say you've implemented a language called foo in a file called foo.pl. Put the file in the same directory as the hashbang executable. And then create a symbolic link from foo to hashbang. Like this:
cd /usr/bin
cp ~/foo.pl .
ln -fs hashbang foo
The CPAN distribution, HashBang-ParrotScript makes use of HashBang to create a simple interpreter for the Parrot Assembler language.
