If you're trying to run a Unix perl script on the Unix system, you could probably create an MS-DOS batch file that logs onto the remote system, then runs your perl script there, or runs a shell script wrapped around the perl script.
On the other hand, if the script is runnable directly on the Windows system -- i.e., does something with files on the Windows system, and if you have a Unix-like shell (e.g. cygwin's bash) available to the Windows system, and access to the Unix filesystem from Windows, you could wrap an MS-DOS batch file around it like this: bash -c "<path to Windows perl stored on Unix system or on windows network> -w <path to perl script stored on Unix system> [<args...>] 2>&1 | less". If you don't care about looking at the text output, you could probably even skip the bash and just put "<path to perl> -w <path to perl script>" in the batch file. In either case, your users could run the batch file from a DOS window, or you can create a shortcut to the batch file and an icon for them to click on.
