in reply to How do you run a perl script without typing the extension on NT?
You can use pl2bat.
DESCRIPTION This utility converts a perl script into a batch file that can be executed on DOS-like operating systems. This is intended to allow you use a Perl script like regular programs and batch files where you jus enter the name of the script probably minus the extension plus any command-line arguments and the script is found in your PATH and run.
