You don't need the shebang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang) if
the script is being called explicity.  i.e.

    $ sh ./myscript.sh

or

    $ perl ./myprog.pl

however if you want to execute it like this:

   $ ./myprog.py

then you'll need the shebang.  It's the same for any interpreter, not
just shell (as you may have gathered).
