While the other answer given should work, at least for complete paths to the program file, you may consider wrapping your Perl programs in a .bat or .cmd script. That should take care of this problem and also make sure that you can run programs located with PATH, etc. It also doesn't require any registry modifications (whether automatic or otherwise), which I think is a big plus. I notice that when I use ExtUtils::MakeMaker to install my modules the batch scripts are generated automatically in Windows. So that's another option. Write a Makefile.PL for your programs and install them using ExtUtils::MakeMaker or equivalent. Of course, due to limitations in the batch scripting language I don't know of any reliable way to pass arguments with spaces along, which is why I wrote that GuessArgs module that I posted here weeks ago, but I digress.
