There's the wrapping of the Perl script in a BAT file. There's even a
utility included with Activestate to do the conversion for you; I think
the name is "pl2bat(.bat)". Drop the PL file on it, and you get the BAT
file.

Problem is, AFAIK, that you're limited to dropping ONE file at a time.
The File Manager only passes the name of the first of the files you
drop, to the script.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
