Re: "Send To" Perl script in Windows (was: Windows platform question)

No, because perlcc has never worked and doesn't exist for new versions of Perl.

But you can accomplish what you want with a trivial batch file.

@echo off
:: This is "parse_excel.bat"
perl "C:\Path To\parse_excel.pl" %1
pause
[download]

Place the batch file in the same directory as the .pl (or wherever you want) and create a shortcut (named however you want) to it in the "Send To" folder.

Update: Switched to more representative file names.
Update: You could even use pl2bat to convert your .pl into a batch file.

I missed your desire for it to work with multiple files. Use `%` instead of `%1` in the batch file. `@echo off :: This is "parse_excel.bat" perl "C:\Path To\parse_excel.pl" % pause` [download] The names of the selected files will be present in @ARGV `for my $xl_file_name (@ARGV) { ... }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

perlcc has never worked It worked a little in 1996... I used it for some small things... But even back then, people warned you away from it. -Paul	[reply]
