Apache on Win32 platforms does the same thing. Given the usefulness of perl+DBI for
CGI applications, and the prevalence of Apache on even Windows boxes, having a
correctly formed shebang line is important on any platform.
I don't think that having #!e:\perl\bin\perl.exe -w as the first line in my scripts is
anywhere near as foolish as thinking it's safe to assume that /usr/bin/perl is the
location of the perl interpreter on a *NIX box.
