On MKS I used to have this in a setup script .profile

(ftype is builtin to Windows Command) 

ftype Perl 'c:/usr/local/bin/perl.exe "%1" %*'

The advantage of FTYPE is that it allows you to specify which Perl you
want used (when you might have several installed, and also to ignore
the shebang which might be set for a distant server

Better I could use Windows Environment variable PATHEXT

>echo $PATHEXT
.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.php;.pl

so that I could call a perl script hello.pl

just with "hello"

Haven't got this to work with CYG
