Some web servers need to use non parsed header scripts (NPH) and I heard

The answer is yes. When you close files they will automatically

Does anyone know why the perl scripts need to have the execute permission

I am asking this because I've seen that the PHP files don't need this

No, you don't need to add any dll files (at least with ActiveState Perl

The perl interpreter is included in the .exe file by default. If you want
