I set this up on a Win98 machine a few months ago, and I there is a place in
the Apache httpd.conf to choose whether a shebang line is interpreted or if
Perl's location is taken from the registry:
#takes Perl location from registry:
ScriptInterpreterSource registry
#takes Perl location from shebang line
ScriptInterpreterSource script
Also, there were some grumblings about getting Perl to work with IIS.
Simple solution: get Win32 Apache and use that as your home server.
