Subject: Re: Using modules when running from shebang!

Hi Matthew,

     I had a similar problem recently, although your problem may be
different than mine, and just have the same symptoms.  After alot of
hair-pulling, I found out thet the shebang line (#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
or whatever) had a CR-LF pair at the end.  Thus, the shell was trying
to find a file named "/usr/local/bin/ruby\r" to run the script, and
failing to find it.  I ran the script file through dos2unix, and it
worked fine.  Your problem may be different, but its worth looking at
it with a binary editor or whatever just in case.

Dennis
