Can't run CGI scripts with nix shabang

[flamey 0]

I downloaded version 5.5-Nano last night, but my Perl CGI scripts with nix shebang line do not work. Only after I change that line to my current ActiveState Perl install #!C:\Perl\.... it starts working.

 

I see there are some examples on Wiki pages with #!/usr/bin/perl , what am I doing wrong?

You are doing nothing wrong, as you have observed shebangs are and need to be different.

 

This page is worth a read:

Isn't this behaviour a change from version 4 to 5 though? If so, shouldn't the Wiki page mention that?

Documentation is reasonable! Probably will never catch up. That said the Wiki is open you can edit pages accordingly.

 

If you are still using 4 series for production, consider upgrading to 5.6.6 there have been a number of security updates.

 

All the best
