Should we have programs with executable permissions in the distro

[Gerd Pokorra]

Changing the first line of files which starts with "#! perl" would be
nice.

Does it have any disadvantage to set it from "#! perl" to 
"#!/usr/bin/perl"?

Also: "#! parrot"  ->  "#!/usr/bin/parrot"

This is my favorite.
