in reply to Anyone know how to get cmd line perl?

Hmmm, the above answer does it *nix, however it looks like you are doing it with Windows.

If you just associate the .pl file extension with perl.exe it should work just fine.

Explorer-->Tools-->Folder Options-->File Types and then add a new one.

Update: BTW ActiveState Perl will do this by default on install.

    Of course you'd have to make some sort of allowance for command-line args, like -w or -T or -c ..

      With ActiveState Perl the perl interpreter will pull the -T -w -etc out of the #!/usr/bin/perl -w -T -etc line for you! So, no you don't really need to make any allowances.
