Yep ... there are a few ways 'round it. Some are more equal than others ...

Modify the file type from Windows/NT Explorer. This will make taint checking permanant, so use this with caution. Go to Tools - Folder Options. Click on the File Types tab, and scroll down until you find PL. Select it and click Edit or Advanced. Select the Open action and click Edit. Add -T after perl.exe but before the "%1".

Or, and I like this better, use the runperl.bat or pl2bat.bat, modifying the shebang line after setting the .bat file up to wrap your script. This option makes taint checking specific to the scripts you want, versus the global option above. This method also allows piping, which the .pl file association does not.
