If you're using ActiveState's Perl distro, under the Perl\bin dir there's a runperl.bat. If you copy that file to the same directory that your perl script is in, and rename the .bat file to have the same name as the perl script (ex: if your perl script is 'program.pl', rename the .bat file to 'program.bat') - then someone at a command prompt should be able to just type 'program' or whatever the name of the script is to execute it.

Of course, windows should have associated the .pl extension to Perl as John mentioned, so you should just be able to double-click on the file itself. in windows. :)
