Given a CGI Perl script(.pl) running on a remote Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) server that needs to have the Perl script starting with
  #!/usr/bin/perl -w...
and my local server is running Apache/1.3.26 (Win32) mod_perl/1.26_01-dev and needs to see a script(.pl) starting with
  #!c:/perl/bin/perl.exe -w...

Question: Is there some way to map the Perl interpreter in Apache 1.x so I do not have to keep editing the shebang (#!) line before uploading the file? (Yes, a bit off topic, but not far from the beaten path :-)  As you might guess, I have shot myself in the foot once too often forgetting to change the shebang before uploading and changing it back before continuing to work on the local server.

Qualifier: I prefer an Apache based solution rather than say a Perl-based Net::FTP script performing the mapping during the upload as I prefer to use a drag-and-drop interface to upload the files.  This will also hopefully give rise to a more general solution for supporting multiple remote servers wherein the Perl executable does not always live in the same place, e.g. /usr/bin/perl, /usr/local/bin/perl, etc.  TIA!
