That's the Shebang. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)

It's used to tell the kernel which script interpreter to use, and only
works in scripts.

Anything that follows # is accepted. print "hello, world!\ runs ok,

Well, the shell is also programmable. Shell scripts are very similar
to CL, except less readable.

Variable assignment in shell is foo='bar' (standard quoting rules
apply - you can use ", ' or no quoting, depending on the string).

/usr/bin/perl from the command line. Get the complaint that operation
is not allowed in a restricted shell. ( was at the $ prompt ). I
hope it actually works. Would like to try using perl to automate some
VIOS admin tasks.

Use oem_setup_env to get a unrestricted shell.
