Bash would be confused
Use perl exec to run a bash script. Now you're confused, too. And not just about why you're using perl.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Bash, does in fact apply to all UNIX-like shells.
Yes I know, I was gonna say "shell is confused" but it just didn't feel like it had the same ring to it
