Re: configuring apache to run cgi -perl on win32 system
You'll need to change your shebang line to #!c:/perl/bin/perl.exe instead of #!/usr/local/bin/perl or something like that. Search the past archives on this list (assuming there are any) as this question has definitely come up in the last 3 months before.
