[pm-h] Windows Shebang

[Fraser Baker]

Thanks Todd, but I am now knee deep in this conversion. Problems remain and 
looking at this error message

[Sat Feb 01 11:40:22 2014] [error] Undefined subroutine 
&ModPerl::ROOT::ModPerl::Registry::D_3a_www_wc_2dadmin_2ecom_cgi_2dbin_minda_admin_departments_cam_2ecgi::GetCookies 
called at D:/www/wc-admin.com/cgi-bin/minda/admin_departments_cam.cgi line 
12.\n

I am thinking that there is an issue with the encoding. I would have thought 
that _3a should have been written as %3a and that the lone underscores 
should be written as a slash. Anyone concur? I have added <meta 
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
to the head of the document. No change.

Should this be managed in Apache? If so, how?

I’ll be honest. I’d not wish mod perl on you. I suspect an alternate and 
more easily solution is to find a way to get .cgi files to be set to always 
run a binary. At least way back when that was an option in apache config 
files. If we can prod Mr. Lightsey hard enough, he can probably answer that 
question.
