One of the nice things about perl (for example) is that you can put together a script with #!/usr/local/perl (in bash for example) as the first line of a file and run it immediately. I've used perl a lot this way with simple 'throw away' scripts to do special filtering on a file, or some other processing that I want to do one or a few times. occasionally, a script like this will have a more permanant value to me, and I keep it around.
Is there some way to do something similar in with Haskell? I've tried the most obvious (to me) test with Hugs and it doesn't work.
#!/usr/local/bin/runhugs will do the trick. See hugs(1). Haskell does really good job for me where perl had been used! -- Koji Nakahara
