The first line of your script merely points to what is going to drive your script. On windows boxes, I understand that this line is not needed. If you can find your program through your path, that's all you need.

That said, though, you can and should include the line so that you can enable switches with it, '-w', for example, or '-Tw', etc. If you don't 'use warnings;' in your script, then you should indeed use the warn switch '-w' on your shebang line.

So your error? Something else. Start a new question with your error and include your script, or at least the part of your script that you think might cause the error.

As much as I don't like referring people away, you might like to check this great troubleshoot of 500 errors:
