[San-Diego-pm] Shebang path issue

I am suggesting that Apache/Perl works easier in a *nix environment.
Most all web applications of perl run in a LAMPs, or LAMPs like
environment.

If the goal is to get your stuff to run on a Linux server eventually,
I think the time spent learning to use a similar computer for your
development environment is worth it. If your goal is to run Perl under
IIS in a production environment, all I can ask is: Why?

If you don't want to change your development box from windows, then
running an emulator like Cygwin is probably easier than trying to
gimick Windows to run apache/perl properly.

When I'm working on a Mac, generally I'm just using the terminal
window, and since OSX is based on Unix, and already comes with Apache
installed, the transition from a development environment to a
production environment is much easier.

I am not a Mac evangelist. I'm just lazy. I'd prefer to put my effort
into the product, than the development environment.
