How to make .pl scripts executing once double-clicked in MacOSX Finder?

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a perl script, and I would like it to be executed by double-clicking on it in MacOSX Finder. I know about .command extension trick - but I don't want to see the terminal window at all. I don't mind packaging some kind of "macos-only" version of the script to make it executing on double-click, but I don't know how to achieve this.
Thanks in advance for the answer.
