Hi.

For quite some time I was happily using ActivePerl & PWS, but recently 
reinstalled a fresh windows, and hence came to reinstalling ActivePerl 
However, this time I decided to use Apache instead of PWS.  At first I was 
happy, it all seemed to work. However, I have perl scripts on various 
different servers, and so want to setup apache to ignore the #! [my scripts 
don't all go on server with the same perl path] Unfortunately, this time 
around I could not get it to work. At first I thought it was Apache but I've 
traced it back to ActivePerl.  If I load up command prompt and do say:

perl test.pl

where test.pl is:

  #!/usr/bin/
  print qq|hello|;

It returns the error: "Can't exec /usr/bin at test.pl line 1.".  However, if 
I alter the sheband line to #!c:/net/perl/bin/perl.exe or remove it 
altogther then it works fine! Can anyone tell me why it is doing this and 
how I sort it out? I'm guessing that perl is set to some sort of 
debug/warning mode where it checks the validitity of the shebang line, but I 
can't find any reference to such anywhere.

Cheers,
Pablo
