Re: perl path: WinNT to Unix

For CGI, you can make a drive:\usr\bin\perl.exe copy on your development NT box. It only needs to contain the exe, as the dll's will be found in the proper place.

#! /usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n";

printf("perl executable %s\n",$^X);
printf("perl version %vd\n",$^V);

Apache returns:

perl executable I:\usr\bin\perl.exe
perl version 5.8.6

update: I forgot to 'use strict' ;)

This was the easiest solution that works without changing anything. I am running apache webserver on NT and "#!/usr/bin/perl" now works on NT after creating the path.	[reply]
