in reply to Can windows do this?

Only if you install Cygwin.

However, if you are running CGI scripts in Apache on Windows, last I checked Apache will respect the shebang when running the script. Someone correct me if I'm out of date since it's been a couple years since I've worked with Windows and Apache together ....

    Just to elaborate -- Cygwin's bash and tcsh behave just like the 'nix-based originals. Try it, and you'll never go back to cmd.exe. (And be sure to check out Corion's econsole to feel the joy of transparent console windows in Win32land.)
