I have had to change the hash-bang line to #!C:/strawberry/perl/bin/perl.exe from #!/usr/bin/perl. ... I don't want to have to change them all.

This is one of the things I meant when I wrote this about using a virtual machine instead of Windows.

The shebang issue has a workaround, as explained in this StackOverflow answer: In the Apache config, use ScriptInterpreterSource Registry-Strict, and in the Windows Registry, set HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cgi\Shell\ExecCGI\Command to the path of perl.exe.
