In order to run an interpreted script on Windows you have to put the interpreter as the command in the filters file, with the script as the first parameter (not only Perl, but VBS etc.). Registry associations do not work in XMail (you may also have noticed that running "script.pl" from the command line does not allow you to redirect output, while you can by running "perl.exe script.pl").
