Hi! Thanks for such a great tool!

But I’m having problem using sow:

$ sow foo
/usr/bin/env: ruby -ws: No such file or directory

I’m using Linux and I think under Linux the sha-bang
“#!/usr/bin/env ruby -ws” is not interpreted correctly.
In fact, many Unix system generate only one argument
for the sha-bang, thus “ruby -ws” is passed as one
argument to /usr/bin/env.

I think there’re three ways to solve it:

  • patch the kernel
  • patch /usr/bin/env
  • patch sow
    It looks like the 3rd solution is relatively cleaner.
    So I’m wondering would you please avoid such sha-bang
    in some future version?

Thanks!
