in reply to running a script from Windows Desktop

Assuming you mean for Win32, yes, you can create a shortcut by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting New->Shortcut and filling out the wizard. You can either call the script.pl directly with or without arguments or you can call perl with your script.pl as the first argument.

Of course, if perl.exe is in their path and configured correctly (utilizing the .pl extension), they can just double-click on the script itself.
