How to use my own PERL?

I'm new to web-server and the "httpd.conf" in apache. However, I would like to use my own PERL instead of the one installed with WAMPP.
I've read/search through the whole httpd.conf and found that there are no pathway to PERL. (There are some pathways to PHP, PhpMyadmin, etc).
How do I teach apache to use my own PERL for running .cgi?
Thx.

Hi,
in the first line of each cgi or perl Script it tells your Script which perl to use...
for example #!C:/xampp/perl/perl.exe
and for linux it would be #!/usr/bin/perl...
All you have to do, is to Adjust this First line to your Perl.
So long

Yup, sure it is. However, it is not the best solution for using my own PERL, as I need to change the first line of every .cgi file.
Is there way to change the setting in apache to locate my own PERL, and so I dont need to change the first lin file by file?
thx.

under linux i think you can use ls for a symlink that point all scripts to your perl

Not that I know of, not on a MS Win System.

But he has a Win System
Win vs. Linux -> 2 different Systems, you should know best

oh, sorry, my mistake
Under Win(NT) System-> Extended-> environment variable->
change the systemvariable under Path C:\Perl\bin\;
