Instead of making my coworkers play with the registry, I thought I'd try to automate these steps too. If you're interested, here's a generic installer I whipped up. Just copy the code into a text editor and save it as a .reg file. Then double click on the .reg file to populate the registry.
REGEDIT4
; Replace the following values with your own information.
;
; <INTERNALNAME> = A name for the shortcut. This will not
; be seen, so just use alphanumeric chars.
; You must change this twice below.
; <DISPLAYNAME> = The name of the right-click shortcut.
; <PATH_AND_FILE> = The path to the Perl script. Use double
; backslashes. For example:
; c:\\scripts\\foo.pl
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\<INTERNALNAME>]
@="<DISPLAYNAME>"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\<INTERNALNAME>\command]
@="perl.exe <PATH_AND_FILE>.pl \"%L\""
Update: Added "%L" to pass the directory to the script. Thanks BrowserUK and Intrepid.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
