Symlink to script fails

- Subject: Symlink to script fails
I have need to use Rational's "CQPerl" which appears to be a derivative
of Active State Perl that allows me to use Perl to access Clearquest. I
have a perl script that does what I want however if I symlink that
script the symlinked invocation does not work! I've drastically reduced
the Perl script to simply demonstrate the problem:
$ cat foo
#!c:/Progra~1/Rational/ClearQuest/CQPerl
print "Hello world\n";
$ foo
Hello world
$ ls -l bar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 adefaria Domain U 86 Feb 21 10:38 bar -> foo*
$ bar
Can't open perl script "./bar": No such file or directory
Now if I change the shebang line to #!/bin/perl then everything works
but as I said I need to use CQPerl.
Ideas?
