The perl executable. The #! allows a script to call an interpreter, so that
the script is processed by some program other than the shell. It allows the
script to be treated as a stand-alone executable which can be run like any
other shell script; without it, you'd have to type "perl script-name.pl" at
the command line.

wrapper is not a perl program, but a c program.
