#!/usr/bin/perl vs. #!perlinperl.exe
Hello,
I currently do my development work with Windows/Apache/perl, then
use MS Frontpage to publish my files to my ISP server running
Linux/Apache/perl.
The problem I run into is that the interpreter path is different on
Windows vs. Linux. Windows requires #!perlinperl.exe, while
Linux requires #!/usr/bin/perl. This requires changing the files
everytime I upload.
Of course, I could write a script to modify the first line of every
file in cgi-bin, but I would have to remember to run that script
each time before I upload, then again after the upload completes.
Is there something I could change in Apache to do away with this
header entirely? Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Regards,
Darren

Surely windows should run with #!/usr/bin/perl because it does not require
this line and simply sees it as a comment.

Actually, you don`t nee the ".exe" in the she-bang line.

I had the same problem when I started developing in Perl 8 years ago.
Go to...
web.torres.ws/walters_way
If you install Apache, Perl, PHP and mySQL according to that description,
you will not have any "she-bang" issues. In fact, all thhe config files
can be set up to be the same as well.
Good luck. Write me off line if you have any issues.

Walter,
Thank you!
I`ve installed quite a few modules with my ActiveState perl
installation, so decided not to reinstall perl from scratch.
However, I found that I could get it to work simply by copying
C:perlinperl.exe to C:usrinperl.exe on my Windows system,
and changing the header line in each script from "#!
perlinperl.exe" to "#!/usr/bin/perl" as you suggested.
This will save me a tremendous amount of time! Thanks again!
I`ve bookmarked your site for future reference.
Regards,
Darren
