Re: Win32 crashes perl

Well, what can I say ... I have the same version of AS Perl on my computer and there it works (at least it does not "crash").

On an entirely unrelated issue: why do you start your program with #!/usr/bin/perl? On a Windows system it is most unlikely that the perl-executable is to be found at that location.

why do you start your program with #!/usr/bin/perl? There's no reason not to use the #! line. I use it in my Windows code as I sometimes will want to use that same code on a Linux box. One upside of Perl is it's portability (when you write with that in mind) - no reason not to accommodate that from the get-go.	[reply]

If you run Apache on your windows machine and you have installed Perl at C:\usr\, then Apache will find the perl executable at /usr/bin/perl. So this shebang is necessary and correct.	[reply]

I run Apache on my Windows machine. Perl is not installed at `c:/usr/` and none of my scripts use the she-bang line and still it works. So it may be correct but it sure is not necessary.
