Nope, sadly on Windows these aren't the same thing. There are only a few
"executable" extensions; for the rest, Windows calls the associated
program (in this case perl.exe) with the file as a parameter. You can't
type only "pre-commit" on the command line and have it run a .pl file,
but you can do this with .bat, .exe, etc. files.
However, for an example of how to turn any Perl script into a .bat file,
look at any .bat file in c:\perl\bin (assuming you're using
ActiveState); simply replace everything between the #!perl shebang and
the __END__ marker with your script.
