make a executable with a perl file in windows

[Booher Timothy B 1stLt AFRL/MNAC]

Hello - I just loaded ActiveState perl onto my computer today . . . while I
normally use perl on my unix machine and modify the file using chmod +x
perlFile.pl - what can I do on dos or do I have to type perl PerlFile.pl
everytime to run PerlFile?
 
Thanks,
 
Tim
