Pound-bang. As in
#!/usr/bin/perl

I always called it the pound sign until I started as a Computer Science student. Then I adopted the CS slang for some of the keyboard symbols - # is "hash", ! is "bang", * is "splat", | is "pipe", etc.

I've always heard it called "shebang," presumably a contraction of hash-bang or maybe sharp-bang.

Always thought is was an lb.

If it was before a number it was a number sign. After a number, a pound sign.
