I don't know why I never thought of this before...
Instead of the kludgy batchfile wrapper for DOS Perl programs, 4dos
users have another option. I happened across it in the 4dos TFM just
now. 4dos allows you to declare other executable extensions with a
simple environment variable!
I already give my Perl programs a .pl extension, so I simply had to
'set .pl=c:\mybin\perl.exe' and my Perl scripts are now automagically
executable. 4dos even searches the path for the executable.
