nemes: you do have to put that in your scripts. But it's not #!c:\perl it's #!c:\perl\bin\perl.exe
Just like in UNIX, if you call up a script by your web server you need to have the location of the program at the top.

Are you using Perl for Windows ( www.activestate.com )?
If so, it should come with complete directions.
You would unzip it (I suppose, I installed mine) in c:\perl and run it from MSDOS.

You don't need to add that line into your codes. You jst have to learn how to call up perl from DOS command prompt. Something which I was wary of.
