Yes I'm not sure either. The example in one book suggests #!/bin/sh at 
the top which didn't work here and my perl install installed scripts 
with lines
  like in the patch but with the full Path.
texi2html which I downloaded from 
http://arrozcru.no-ip.org/ffmpeg_sources/ has this which also works
eval '(exit $?0)' && eval 'exec perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}' && eval 'exec perl 
-S $0 $argv:q'
Actually the attached patch also works here.
