Executing Perl scripts in Apache for Windows
Apache parses all CGI scripts for the shebang line by default. This comment line, the first line of the script, consists of the symbols pound (#) and exclamation (!) followed by the path of the program that can execute this specific script.
For a perl script, with perl.exe in the C:\Perl\bin directory, the shebang line should be: C:\perl/bin
Apache on Windows allows either the Unix behavior above, or can use the Registry to match files by extention. The command to execute a file of this type is retrieved from the registry by the same method as the Windows Explorer would use to handle double-clicking on a file.
To enable this Windows specific behavior (and therefore -disable- the
equivilant Unix behavior), uncomment the following directive in httpd.conf:
ScriptInterpreterSource registry
