A new version of #!perl, which provides #!/user/local/bin/perl - style
Perl startups under MS-DOS is now available from CPAN. It's been
rewritten in C (it used to be Pascal) and has two new features:

* The environment variable PERL_PROG allows you to specify the name of
 the Perl interpreter (and thus use a different interpreter, making
 #!perl into a generic script-wrapper program).

* The special startup option -CGI_DEBUG makes #!perl emit debug output as
 an HTML document, so that you can attempt to find out why it isn't
 working with your http server. I added this because people seemed to
 need it; I've never tested it myself.

I've also released a new version of my document about differences between
MS-DOS perl and UNIX perl, as dosperl2.txt.

  *   I don't know how to set up a WWW server for DOS/Windows/NT   *
  *   using Perl. E-mailing me asking how is a waste of good       *
  *   electrons. I won't be able to help, and I'm bored with       *
  *   being asked the questions                                    *

Both files are available from .../CPAN/ports/msdos/tips-tricks, as
hbp4.03.zip and dosperl2.txt.
