Do you even use perl on windows? Of course there's not a /usr/bin/perl. Besides that, Windows doesn't even use a #! on line 1 to determine what to use to execute a script - that's a unix'ism. You use "assoc" to associate the .pl extension to a file type, and you use "ftype" to specify the command string to use for a given file type. Why even comment if you don't know what's going on...
