add shortenPerlShebang function
This setup hook modifies a Perl script so that any "-I" flags in its shebang line are rewritten into a "use lib ..." statement on the next line. This gets around a limitation in Darwin, which will not properly handle a script whose shebang line exceeds 511 characters.

On Darwin, if a script has too many

<literal>-I<replaceable>dir</replaceable></literal> flags in its first line

(its “shebang line”), it will not run. This can be worked around by calling

the <literal>shortenPerlShebang</literal> function from the

|

<programlisting>

ImageExifTool = buildPerlPackage {

shortenPerlShebang $out/bin/exiftool

'';

};
|

</programlisting>
|
||||
This will remove the <literal>-I</literal> flags from the shebang line,
|
||||
rewrite them in the <literal>use lib</literal> form, and put them on the next
|
||||
line instead. This function can be given any number of Perl scripts as
|
||||
arguments; it will modify them in-place.
