It depends some on the version of Windows you are running. On my WinXP all I have to do is select one of my .pl files, right click, and select properties. On the first tab (General) is a open to set "Opens with". Use that to associate the Perl executable with any .pl file. On other versions you had to open a folder and select Tool -> Folder options. Then go to the "File types" tab and hunt for you extension. That was generally a pain.
