It also works for the shells (then again, I would have expected that).  
But it doesn't work for Python:

dcarrera ~ $ cat example.pl 
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
puts "Hello World"
dcarrera ~ $ perl example.pl 
Hello World
dcarrera ~ $ sh example.pl 
Hello World 
dcarrera ~ $ tcsh example.pl 
Hello World 
dcarrera ~ $ csh example.pl 
Hello World
dcarrera ~ $ python example.pl 
  File "example.pl", line 2
    puts "Hello World"
                     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
dcarrera ~ $
