This is true... until you write your first CGI script and tries to run it locally with say Apache or something. Then all of a sudden that line must be there.

The line in the example is correct (and working) for ActiveState's default installation, but as long as the web server and all is on the same drive, #!/perl/bin/perl -w will be good enough. Although I do recommend installing in C:\usr instead to fit the standard #!/usr/bin/perl -w.

Of course, if you never ever will test your CGI's locally, you can just ignore this post. :)
