Re^4: [implementation specific to windows] writing a proper batch file for terminal start-up

* On Windows 10, you have to right-click on any .pl file, and click on "Open With" and then "Choose another app" and then in the new window click "More Apps" and then scroll down and click on "Look for anther app on this PC." and then find that bat file, and put a checkmark next to "Always use this app to open .pl files." and click on OK.

I'm not finding this functionality. I either get to open this with an existing app or one that MS is gonna sell me.

It took me a while to realize that there is no run command in neither dos nor bash:

C:\Users\tblaz\Documents\evelyn>run 8.monk.tag
'run' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

$ run anything
bash: run: command not found

$

When you suggest syntax like this:

C:\Users\tblaz\Desktop>run example.pl

, it is because you have a run.bat in the path. I have a nomenclature where I prefer to put a numeral first on any file I can. I copied the idea tho and have this:

C:\Strawberry\perl\site\bin>type 2.run.bat
@ECHO OFF
rem set env variables
set TERM=dumb
set PERL_JSON_BACKEND=JSON::XS
set PERL_YAML_BACKEND=YAML
rem avoid collisions with other perl stuff on your system
rem set PERL5LIB=
set PERL5OPT=
set PERL_MM_OPT=
set PERL_MB_OPT=
rem change encoding to show cyrillic chars
chcp 65001
rem show which perl
perl -e "printf("""Perl executable: %%s\nPerl version   : %%vd\n""", $
+^X, $^V)" 2>nul
if ERRORLEVEL==1 echo.&echo FATAL ERROR: 'perl' does not work; check i
+f your strawberry pack is complete!

C:\Strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe "%1" %2 %3

ECHO.
PAUSE
cmd \K
C:\Strawberry\perl\site\bin>

Changing the active code page is a definite plus. Now, instantiated back where my perl scripts are:

C:\Users\tblaz\Documents\evelyn>2.run.bat 2.cyr.pl
Active code page: 65001
Perl executable: C:\Strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe
Perl version   : 5.30.0

I'm happy with the results. There was nothing in this directory before today, so I think it's a fine place for such scripts. (?)
