Or you could create another class, such as '*.wpl' or '*.plw' or 
whatever, and associate that with wperl.exe instead of perl.exe

- In Windows Explorer, select the 'Tools' menu, then the 'Folder 
Options' item.
- In the dialog that pops up, select the 'File Types' tab.
- Select the PL file type (type 'PL' in the listview control to jump to it).
- Press the 'Advanced' button.
- Select 'Open' or 'Run' or whatever the command name is
- Click 'Edit'
- Cut and paste the info from 'Application used to perform action'
- Back on the 'File Types' tab, press the 'New' button.
- Enter the file extension (for example, 'WPL') and click 'OK'
- Find and select your new extension (I think it puts it at the top of 
the list
- Press the 'Advanced' button/
- Enter a name for your new file type (for example, 'Windowed Perl Script')
- Press the 'New' button
- Enter a name for your action
- Paste the stuff you cut before, and change perl.exe to wperl.exe
- You may have to click 'Set Default', or it may be set automatically (I 
can't remember)
- Click 'OK'

Now you can run script.wpl with wperl.exe by double clicking in Windows 
Explorer, but script.pl will still run with perl.exe (and therefore have 
a console).
