.bat files are DOS batch files, so they are collections of commandline DOS commands. So yes, you have to run them from the Run box.
In fact, you probably want to go Run, then cmd to get the command line, then use it from there. You'll need either to specify complete paths to the files you need, or change the DOS PATH system variable. I'm assuming Perl is already set up on your system, or you have a compiled executable. Let me know how you get on. I do a free program called Accessible PDF in the WebbIE suite of programs that uses the XPDF engine, which is fine as far as it goes but doesn't handle complex layouts well. http://www.webbie.org.uk.
