Thw Win32 port of apache has the "ScriptInterpreterSource" directive which
you must uncomment in the httpd.conf file in order for it to ignore the
shebang lines and use the file associations set in the windows registry.
This is such a great convinience for developing perl scripts on a windows
box that have to be deployed on a unix box. I cant tell you how many times
I've torn my hair out, debugging and trying to figure out why my win32
developed scripts bomb out on my unix boxen...when the problem was just
that I forgot to change the shebang line to point to the unix perl path!
Aloha,
