Shouldn't you be using the latter shebang in the first place? IIRC
Windows doesn't even look at this (it uses Registry file associations
instead) so you might be just running into a !problem here ;)
But if you really need to have the Windows shebang line above, since
this is more of a deployment problem rather than a development
problem, you might try looking into tools like Archer or even Ruby's
capistrano, that may be able to change the shebang line for you at
deploy time.

Manipulating @INC directly is usually tricky; you might want to do
`use lib' instead, or local::lib. Ideally however, you don't want to
jump through these hoops; you might want to try looking at making
your Windows Perl setup as equivalent to the Unix setup instead. If
you're a heavy CPAN/CPANPLUS user, you can try Strawberry Perl (which
recently made Slashdot headlines.)
