On M$ systems I've only used ActivePerl. Here's what I can tell you: First, c:\Perl\bin should have been added to your %PATH environment variable by the installer. If not, you have to do so by hand. The quickest way is to add ";c:\Perl\bin" to end of the line that begins with "PATH=" in your c:\autoexec.bat file. That way, when you open a DOS prompt anywhere in your folder tree and type "perl myscript.pl", the system will use perl and not anything else.
Second, windows scripts do not need a header like that on Unix systems. You can either ommit it or use #!perl , you'll have to see what works for you.
