Please instruct erl to ignore shebangs.

$ cat hello.erl
#!/usr/bin/env escript

-module(hello).
-export([main/1]).

main(_) -> io:format("Hello World!~n", []).wonko:Desktop andrew$
./hello.erl
Hello World!

Erlang R14B03 (erts-5.8.4) [source] [64-bit] [smp:2:2] [rq:2]

Eshell V5.8.4  (abort with ^G)
1> c(hello).
./hello.erl:1: syntax error before: '#'
./hello.erl:4: no module definition
