I had read that Windows does not require a Shebang line, but, while that was apparently true when I was running Apache 1.3 on a Windows 2003 Server it isn't the case with Apache 2.2 on Windows Server 2012, at least not the way my instances are or aren't configured.

Windows does not require a shebang line, but Apache does if configured that way. ScriptInterpreterSource set to Script requires a shebang line, set to Registry uses the default Windows mechanism, set to Registry-Strict reads the registry subkey Shell\ExecCGI\Command. Script is the default since the directive was introduced (in 1.3.6, according to apacheweek). Before that, the Apache behaviour was equivalent to Registry.

If the old Apache was configured to use mod_perl and Apache::Registry, Apache would not care about the Windows registry or the shebang line, but instead use the perl interpreter running in mod_perl.
