in thread How do I get Perl on Windows 95?

she-bang options will work just fine. The Perl interpreter reads that line, even if Windows doesn't

not exactly. if you're using taint mode (-T), if it's on the shebang line, ActiveState will report 'too late to run taint mode' or somesuch. instead, it must be specified at command-line, as in 'perl -T myscript.pl'

and $^O (or $OSNAME) give you your OS.

    That's not exactly true.
    The "too late to run taint mode" error is indicative of running perl under IIS, though. Apache should run OK, according to memory, and the command line is good too, although it's a pain to troubleshoot CGI that way, occasionally.
