This is only used on unix systems:
#!/local/bin/perl

The line, below, is in my scripts, though the file didn't actually exist on
the machine after installing PERL (http://www.perl.hip.com) and none of the
scripts worked properly. I ended up copying the "cgi-lib.pl" file from a
unix system to the NT machine and everything has worked fine ever since.

require'cgi-lib.pl';
