in thread Upon doing perl -V to resolve the problem with wxPerl::Constructors

Either install the module or call the right perl

Or fix your association so it doesn't hardcode the path to strawberryperl, but uses the first perl.exe found in %PATH%

$ help assoc Displays or modifies file extension associations ASSOC [.ext[=[fileType]]] .ext Specifies the file extension to associate the file type wi +th fileType Specifies the file type to associate with the file extensi +on Type ASSOC without parameters to display the current file associations +. If ASSOC is invoked with just a file extension, it displays the curren +t file association for that file extension. Specify nothing for the fil +e type and the command will delete the association for the file extensio +n. $ help ftype Displays or modifies file types used in file extension associations FTYPE [fileType[=[openCommandString]]] fileType Specifies the file type to examine or change openCommandString Specifies the open command to use when launching f +iles of this type. Type FTYPE without parameters to display the current file types that have open command strings defined. FTYPE is invoked with just a file type, it displays the current open command string for that file type. Specify nothing for the open command string and the FTYPE command will delete the open command string for the file type. Within an open command string %0 or %1 are substituted with the file name being launched through the assocation. %* gets all the parameters and %2 gets the 1st parameter, %3 the second, etc. %~n gets all the remainin +g parameters starting with the nth parameter, where n may be between 2 a +nd 9, inclusive. For example: ASSOC .pl=PerlScript FTYPE PerlScript=perl.exe %1 %* would allow you to invoke a Perl script as follows: script.pl 1 2 3 If you want to eliminate the need to type the extensions, then do the following: set PATHEXT=.pl;%PATHEXT% and the script could be invoked as follows: script 1 2 3

They look like

$ ftype |ack perl PerlScript=perl.exe %1 %* $ assoc |ack -i perl .pl=PerlScript

Its just registry entries

$ reg query HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PerlScript /s ! REG.EXE VERSION 3.0 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PerlScript <NO NAME> REG_SZ PerlScript Language HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PerlScript\CLSID <NO NAME> REG_SZ {F8D77580-0F09-11d0-AA61-3C284E000000} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PerlScript\OLEScript HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PerlScript\Shell HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PerlScript\Shell\Open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PerlScript\Shell\Open\Command <NO NAME> REG_EXPAND_SZ perl.exe %1 %* $ reg query HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pl /s !

    I have also added the .PL extension at the below path.

    computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment variables -> System +variables
    Now, I will run the scripts.

    Here is the result when I executed these.
    C:\>ftype PerlScript=perl.exe %1 %* Access is denied. Error occurred while processing: PerlScript. C:\>assoc .pl=PerlScript Access is denied. Error occurred while processing: .pl.

    I have also went ahead and changed program the .PL extension to the .PL notepad, earlier it was associated to Strawberry at the below location as I am using the Windows7.

     Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Associations

      Access is denied.

      This mean :) Access is denied.

      I have also went ahead and changed program the .PL extension to the .PL notepad, earlier it was associated to Strawberry at the below location as I am using the Windows7.

      You can also disable execution of .PL files by modifying pathext, as help ftype explains

        Now, I am getting an error when I tried executing the scripts, just to see if there is any change. The error that the system throws is :

         wxmsw28u_core_VC_custom.dll is missing
