Do you want to find all lines with #! or do you need to know how to determine what will be used as the shebang for a perl script?

The shabang is by definition the first line of the file.

neil i need to know how to determine what will be used as the shebang for a perl script.. which is the 1st line in the actualy program...

Use
Code:
which perl
So on my system it would be something like

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl perl -w
