wperl. If you have ActivePerl, then you'll already have it as wperl.exe on your harddisk, next to the original executable, perl.exe. You use it instead of the normal perl executable to run your script. Both are exactly the same executable, approximatly 5k in size, which loads the actual Perl interpreter as a DLL, and the difference between the two is one byte. See these docs for how it has been accomplished. ("exetype" is a Perl script that is also part of the distribution. You should have it as "exetype.pl" or as "exetype.bat".)
