#! @perl@/bin/perl

# Issue #166838 uncovered a situation in which a configuration not suitable
# for the target architecture caused a cryptic error message instead of
# a clean failure. Due to this mismatch, the perl interpreter in the shebang
# line wasn't able to be executed, causing this script to be misinterpreted
# as a shell script.
#
# Let's detect this situation to give a more meaningful error
# message. The following two lines are carefully written to be both valid Perl
# and Bash.
printf "Perl script erroneously interpreted as shell script,\ndoes target platform match nixpkgs.crossSystem platform?\n" && exit 1
