Ahh, right.

99.99% will have either one of these:

/opt/perl/bin/perl /opt/perl32/bin/perl /opt/perl64/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl

I'd strongly suggest to filter /usr/contrib/bin/ out of whatever path is used to find programs, as it might contain perl4

/pro/bin is only for me (and our customers). It is a safe place where we will never interfere with whatever system perl is installed
