Subject: 5.12.1.0.beta_1 - update_assoc.bat suggestion (.pl association)
Hi Curtis,

Please consider adding the following simple BAT into the root of strawberry perl installation

Show quoted text
####### update_assoc.bat #######
@echo off
assoc .pl=PerlScript
ftype PerlScript=%~dp0perl\bin\perl.exe %%1 %%*
Show quoted text
#######

It properly sets .pl association with given strawberry perl installation.

I know that .pl association issue was discussed many times and that you might not agree with that but i think we should give this option to strawberry perl users.

If you prefere some perl implementation of this BAT script i can try to prepare it (I have not check whether assoc + ftype utilities are present in all windows releases).

I have to admit, I'd prefer a perl implementation. But good idea to do before the final.
