[libvirt] [PATCH] check-spacing: Don't hardcode Perl interpreter path

This is particularly useful on operating systems that don't ship Perl as part of the base system (eg. FreeBSD) while still working just as well as it did before on Linux.

For the usual use case of 'make syntax-check' this should be working already, since we run it as $(PERL) with the binary path detected at configure time. But this change is an improvement. ACK if you extend it to include all perl scripts. Jan

It does.

Fair enough, I failed to realize just how many more Perl scripts were affected by the issue until you pointed it out. I've just posted v2 which fixes all Perl scripts, and additionally all Python scripts since they were in a similar position. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
