Erik,
Actually you CAN make Perl scripts executable at the command prompt
by including ".PL" in the variable PATHEXT, as in.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.JS;.PL
This also requires that Perl can be found in the environment.
Doing this allows you to run the program by doing
C:\> myperl
rather than something like
C:\> perl myperl.pl
One caveat that I never spent the time to work around, is that
Subversion does not seem to honor (or carry over) the PATHEXT variable,
and so this is not set when it comes time to run any hooks. So doing
the same program invocation without the extension or full path to Perl
within the hook script or getting Subversion to call the hook, is still
problematic. In other words on a Windows system with PATHEXT set I was
not able to get start-commit.pl to run without the .bat wrapper.
