Good.

When you do not have perl installed anywhere, how does this fail? I
think you would get
$ ./aggregate.perl ...
/usr/bin/env: 'perl': No such file or directory
and compared to that,
$ perl ./aggregate.perl ...
bash: perl: command not found
I think it makes it slightly more obvious to those who lack perl on
their $PATH what is going wrong to explicitly tell them to run
"perl" like Toon's suggestion above (primarily because use of
/usr/bin/env is not obvious to those who are told to run
./aggregate.perl script).
