Ok.  But where is this documented?

I expected "#!/usr/bin/env perl -w" to work because I thought the
line would be interpreted as on the command line (shell) and as is
documented in the manual page for env.  Since the behaviour is
different when the line is in the shebang line, it has to be
documented somewhere.
