Same in Rakudo Star 2014.12 and 2014.12.1

From @szabgab

When running as

perl6 /Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/bin/p6doc

or as

perl6-m /Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/bin/p6doc
then it works.

From @szabgab

The same happens with panda. If I try to run directly I get

/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/bin/panda​: line 2​: use​: command

but if I run

perl6 /Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/bin/panda

then it works.

Is there something broken in my environment?

From @szabgab

If I put

#!/usr/bin/env perl6

as the sh-bang of either of those script, they start to work.

Or more specifically

That's quite dangerous. Precompiled modules (on which scripts often
depend) only work with the rakudo that compiled them. If a different one
is in $PATH before that, the scripts will start to fail with weird errors.

Does #!/usr/bin/env /full/path/to/perl6-m work?

Well, I am not suggesting it should be set that way, I don't know how it
'should' be.
I was just reporting what worked and what did not work for me.

yes, I just tried putting this in p6doc​:

#!/usr/bin/env /Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/bin/perl6-m
and then I could run p6doc on the command line.

I just stumbled across this today.

It looks like this issue has been partially worked-around by adding #!/usr/bin/env to the shebang line for p6doc. The original problem is caused by /usr/local/bin/perl6 being a shell script. OSX does not allow a shebang script as the interpreter for another shebang script. On my system this is​:

$ cat /usr/local/bin/perl6
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/Cellar/rakudo-star/2016.01/bin/moar --execname="$0" --libpath="/usr/local/Cellar/rakudo-star/2016.01/share/nqp/lib" --libpath="/usr/local/Cellar/rakudo-star/2016.01/share/perl6/lib" --libpath="/usr/local/Cellar/rakudo-star/2016.01/share/perl6/runtime" /usr/local/Cellar/rakudo-star/2016.01/share/perl6/runtime/perl6.moarvm "$@​"

A proper fix could be to replace /usr/local/bin/perl6 with a native binary executable which does the same work as the above shell script.
