If you want to be able to run your script by saying "Flurge this.txt" instead of "Flurge.pl this.txt", then I suggest you use pl2bat or at least the documentation for it and use one of the other solutions described there (see (tye)Re: Calling a Perl filter script from command line or, even better, type "perldoc pl2bat" at your command prompt).
