Operating Systems Solaris Perl Interpreter Default Shell Post 302871637 by mix123 on Wednesday 6th of November 2013 01:07:49 PM

Perl Interpreter Default Shell

Hello. We have recently changed from HP Unix Servers to Solaris. On the HP Severs we were using the POSIX shell. Solaris is using the Bourne sh.

We are using ksh as our default shell after login. The problem we are encountering is when something like Perl or Cron uses the shell to execute a command it is using bin/sh.

We have some perl scripts that run shell scripts inside of them. They are not working as they were designed for POSIX/KSH.

Is there anyway to make perl use a different shell when invoking shell scripting?
