in thread running a script from Windows Desktop

I have Windows XP and I tried doing that. But it opens up in Notepad (the shortcut does) instead of executes in the command window as my script needs to. I have ActivePerl installed. How can I make a perl file execute in CMD?

    I guess you have to call the perl interpreter (with absolute path) and your script as parameter.

    So do I in my Icons under Win2k.
