Oh but it is, it is! The problem is that the DOS/Windows versions I've listed don't have a command shell powerful enough associate file extensions with an interpreter. Remember - you're restricted to command.com here.

    You can use start to get file-associations from the command line, as in start file.pl 1 2 3. (However, this will launch perl in a sperate process and window.)
