I see you are running M$ Win, but which version? What Perl are you
running? I have Win2kSP1 with ActiveState Perl, and the install sets
it up so you can do just what you asked. (basically you need your
PATHEXT environment variable to include .pl or what ever you have as
an extension for you perl programs).

Yes, this is possible also. Look at the c:\perl\bin\pl2bat.bat file.
It wraps M$ Batch file code around your perl code.
