Unix-heads are used to perl scripts begining with #!/usr/bin/perl (the so-called, “shebang” notation). This is a feature I’ve always missed on Windows.

Thanks to Google’s filetype keyword, I found I a solution.


@rem = '
@echo off
\path\to\perl\perl.exe %0.cmd %*
exit /B %ERRORLEVEL%
';
print "Hello Perl World!";


The one caveat here is that you must name your file with the .cmd extension.

Update: Changed to return a proper errorlevel. Thanks, Kevin.
