How to use the Software Collections version of a runtime program (eg, perl, python) from a script:
#!/usr/bin/scl enable rh-perl524 -- perl
print "$^V\n";

ksa@cdlogin3 $ scl --list | grep perl
rh-perl524
ksa@cdlogin3 $
ksa@cdlogin3 $ cat ~ksa/public/perl.scl.example.pl
#!/usr/bin/scl enable rh-perl524 -- perl
print "$^V\n";
ksa@cdlogin3 $
ksa@cdlogin3 $ ~ksa/public/perl.scl.example.pl
