Here's how:
- create a dos batch file that takes filenames as parameters
and runs your perl script on them.
- create a 'windows shortcut'to this batchfile and place it
in your windows user directory
- your win/user dir on NT id:
	%SYSTEMDIR%\%USERNAME%\Sendto\
  or c:\windows\Sendto on W95, or something like that.
- the name of the shortcut will appear in the context menu.
