It's competely normal to have to have the _first_ characters of a script be #!/path/to/interperter That's how the system knows which interpreter (language) to use. See "man execve". This is the basis of the file command, see "man file" and "man magic". The script also has to be marked executable. See "man chmod". For an example, see the contents of /usr/bin/apropos. The only other alternative is to imbed the scripting language into html, i.e. use php or imbedded perl. You still wind up having to tell the web server what language you're using.
