in thread Could Spawn Child Process

On windows boxes, I understand that this line is not needed.

It is not needed if you run script as usual program on windows. In this case file associations come to play. However if you run script as CGI using Apache normally Apache emulates UNIX behaviour. Apache ignores file associations and reads shebang line to find script interpretator. BTW if I recall correctly Win32 Apache has an option which is off by default. That option forces Apache to use file associations and ignore shebang line.
