I can't figure out how to execute a *.pl file from a windows shortcut (Active Perl installed). I have perl command line interpreter associated with *.pl files... When I double click on it, it just flashes a cmd prompt and does not run the application.

Might be more of a quick fix, but why not make your shortcut to "perl yourscript.pl" instead of just "yourscript.pl"?

Just a thought!

cmd /k "C:\pathToPerl\bin\perl.exe C:\PathToScript\yourscript.pl"
