I don't "speak" Perl, but I know that at least simpler
scripts work on Windows when you change the path in the
first line from /usr/bin/perl to
$YOUR_PERL_INSTALLATION_FOLDER$\perl.exe, i.e. you just give
the path where your perl.exe is saved. To invoke the
program, you need to open a command shell, go to the path
where your script is and type _perl script.pl_. In case
you've not saved the path to perl.exe in the PATH system
variable, you need to go to the directory of perl.exe, e.g.
_c:\program files\perl\bin_ and invoke perl from there. Then
of course, you must give the whole path of the script you
want to execute.

Again, but I hope better understandable:
- Assuming that perl.exe is installed in C:\perl\bin
- Assuming that the script "script.pl" is in C:\MyDocs\

1. Change the first line of "script.pl" to
#!C:\perl\bin\perl.exe

2. Open a command shell (in Start/Programs/Accessories for
XP), if in doubt, just open Start/Run and type in cmd.exe

3. 1. a. Enter cd C:\MyDocs
      b. Enter perl script.pl

   2. a. Enter cd C:\perl\bin
      b. Enter perl C:\MyDocs\script.pl

   3. a. Enter C:\perl\bin\perl.exe C:\MyDocs\script.pl


Good luck,
Carsten
