What I do is install Activestate Perl in the default spot then create the directory path `C:\usr\bin\` into which I drag-drop a copy of `perl.exe`. Apache uses this executable as detailed in the shebang `#!/usr/bin/perl` . Since the executable knows where its libs are, everything works like a charm.
