Sadly, not really. What you can do is to launch the program with the perl command. So if perl.bat is in your PATH on Windows and in your PATH on Unix (which it should always be), you can do:
Code:
perl path-to-myprogram/myprogram
To my knowledge, though, Windows doesn't really recognize the #! syntax (maybe they added it recently??) and Windows knows its a perl program because it has the .pl extension.
