Not Perl, but similarly handy is the "Open Command Window Here" PowerToy free from Microsoft. Another fun thing is "start some_dir" from the command line to pop up a file explorer for that directory. (E.g. "start ." to see the explorer for the current directory). start has other neat uses. Given a filename, it will open the file up the default app for that filetype. Handy for .html files, for example. Type "help start" at the command line for more details. -xdg Code written by xdg and posted on PerlMonks is public domain.
