It would be useful if someone who understands the details could add this
CGI environment stuff to the known bugs page.

Give this error, while it was working fine with 1.3b6 (and 1.3b3)
[Mon Jun 01 13:47:50 1998] [error] (2)No such file or directory: couldn't spawn child process: d:/home/http/cgi-bin/ls.pl
The script begin with:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl5
There is a file in D:\usr\local\bin\perl5.bat (I created it in C: too)
The batch file call Perl (so I don't have to modify the CGI to u/l them on
the Unix server)
When I change line for:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl5.bat
I get:
[Mon Jun 01 13:43:17 1998] [error] Premature end of script headers: d:/home/http/cgi-bin/ls.pl
I just found out, that Apache seem to clean environment... 
(perl is not in PATH anymore, that fix one problem...)
However it seem that the others environment variable don't get passed...
