Re: Re[2]: [perl-win32-gui] Questin from a beginner
well, it depends on the application loader, not on the operating system. a unix shell even if compiled for NT, (e.g. cygwin bash, mingw bash, msvc tcsh, ...) does look at the she-bang, also my apache for windows. at least cmd.exe, 4nt.exe or command.com ignore the "she-bang" (#!) line. some perl win32 startup magic is applied to get at the switches as aldo said. I also applied some 4nt magic to fire up the correct perl exe version. set .pl=/usr/local/bin/perl5.005.exe set .pl4=/usr/local/bin/perl5.004.exe set .gpl=/usr/local/bin/guiperl.exe "/" defaults to %SystemDrive% (which is E: in my case) very similar to nt: ftype and assoc but I had to version the various perl dll's as well. perl5.6 thanksfully versions its dll now by default. not so far as I do, but at least to some extent. by "versioning" I mean rename the dll to something like perl5.00503-md.dll (suffixes for multi-debug-object-threaded, ...). this required some patches to the makefile, see my patches to the perl-win32-porters list at lyris. (or p5p?) this allows multiple versions through various small perl.exe versions loading different shared libs. Getting at the correct dll without needing to add the path to %PATH% was the hard point. switching various %PATH% settings was not to my taste. BTW: the whole discussion should go to the lyris win32-users list and has nothing to do with Win32::GUI >Mike Kangas wrote: >> on a Windows computer you do not need this. Linux yes.

Re: [perl-win32-gui] Questin from a beginner
on a Windows computer you do not need this. Linux yes. For linux it is the path for perl, in windows it is just another commented line of code. hope this helps.

[perl-win32-gui] Questin from a beginner
This might be the most embaressing question on the list yet, but I'm a little confused. In perl on the she-bang line is the # in the #!/usr/bin/perl line suppose to remain there to active the script or are you suppose to remove the # ? Sorry the books don't quite fully explain this so I have to rely on the gifted people on this list. -Naika Realm Gothica http://www.triocollective.com/gothica.htm "...open your mind to something new..."
