As you've noted yourself in the paragraph above, you only need the wrapper
script to transform the script name from POSIX path style to Win32 style,
and only if it's in the #! (shebang) line of a perl script. That was what
my wrapper script was designed to do (as shown by the example usage).
You do NOT need a wrapper to run the command above -- just invoke
ActiveState perl directly.
