Which of these is better or faster to use as the shebang line for a Perl script?

#! perl

#! perl.exe

#! fullpath/perl(/perl.exe)

#! partialpath/perl(/perl.exe)

And, when using #!perl, when it works on a particular system, how do I find out in the script which perl interpreter I'm using so I can put that one into the shebang line?


And, if using a /path/path/perl, are "*" or "..." allowed to be used for the folders?
