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.
Surely there is a way to do this!
You can use the runghc command provided with ghc (in ghc/utils/runghc -- cvs only, I think): paprika$ cat t.hs #!/usr/local/bin/runghc main = putStrLn "haskell is fun" paprika$ chmod 700 t.hs paprika$ ./t.hs haskell is fun -- Don
