Newbie question: Calling a shell script from ruby

ruby-talk
1

yes, my question was about calling perl scripts. I didn’t state the platform
because it was a general question. However the platforms i’m interested in
are unix, linux and windows running cygwin so what has been suggested should
work on all those platforms.

Zubin

I thought that Zubin’s original question was about calling
perl scripts.

Don’t know why, but I also assumed that he was on a unix box.
I don’t know
if Windows has anything like the #! magic number.

That works if foo.sh has “#! /usr/bin/env perl -” (or the

equivalent), which is very much highly recommended.

Thanks for helpful supplementation. But why perl for foo.sh? :slight_smile:
