Hi group. Short 'n sweet question. Is there a way to run perl programs from the command line without having to precede usage with "perl" so I can go myprogram [Arguments] Instead of perl myprogram [Arguments] If there is no way to do this...would making a bat file (windows) of the same name do it? I'm not sure if a bat file can handle arguments...and if it can, would it be able to pass them to my perl program? I'm new to perl, and I've also never really had cause to learn much about bat files either. -Dave
