I'm not sure of the value of this one; how does an author make the buildtool
executable on Windows, for example? I have the impression (not using
Windows) that users must always call the tool with 'perl Build.PL' on such
platforms.
Am I mistaken?
on windows the command interpreter uses file associations instead of
C<#!>. files with extension C<.pl> are usually associated with
C<perl.exe>, and invoked without specifying C<perl> on the command
line. this is user-modifiable, so it's possible to configure files
with the C<.pl> extension to be associated with another executable, or
none at all.
