c:/strawberry/c and c:/strawberry/perl contain completely different things
(1st - gcc toolchain + bunch of external libs; 2nd - the perl itself + all
installed modules) which is enough to keep them separately.
In theory they can be combined but you have to manually hack many
$Config{???} variables pointing to these dirs.

You are right.

This one works for me, maybe some temporary issue.

To install a ZIP distribution
1. unzip strawberry-perl-5.12.1.0-64bit into a dir without spaces in its
name - e.g. c:\perl64bit\
2. run c:\perl64bit\relocation.pl.bat
3. run c:\perl64bit\update_env.pl.bat
(it might be necessary to logout/login to update your environment variables
set in steb 3.)

Shebang line is (mostly) ignored on MS Windows. AFAIK the only case when it
does matter is when you are running your perl script via FastCGI (Apache +
mod_fastcgi).
To run a perl script you can lauch:
c:\> perl scriptname.pl
Strawberry perl unfortunately does not associate .pl extension but you can
do it by hand via commands:|
|c:\> assoc .pl=PerlScript||
c:\> ftype PerlScript=c:\perl64bit\perl\bin\perl.exe %1 %*
After that you can simply run your script like this:
c:\> scriptname.pl
