you need to use
#! perl (followed by whatever switches you want to use)
and have perl in your path
To set perl in your path go to:
Start > Settings > Control Panel
In the control panel go to System
Click the upper right tab "Advanced"
Click the middle button "Environment Variables"
The bottom text box contains your system variables. Find Path, highlight
it, and click Edit...
At the end of the path type a semi-colon and the path to your perl.exe

Actually, all my perl extensions (.pl, .pm, .cgi) are associated with my
text editor -- to make them run, perl has to be set in the path.
