    47 =head1 SYNOPSIS
       
    48 
       
    49 	C:\> copy runperl.bat foo.bat
       
    50 	C:\> foo
       
    51 	[..runs the perl script `foo'..]
       
    52 	
       
    53 	C:\> foo.bat
       
    54 	[..runs the perl script `foo'..]

    57 =head1 DESCRIPTION
       
    58 
       
    59 This file can be copied to any file name ending in the ".bat" suffix.
       
    60 When executed on a DOS-like operating system, it will invoke the perl
       
    61 script of the same name, but without the ".bat" suffix.  It will
       
    62 look for the script in the same directory as itself, and then in
       
    63 the current directory, and then search the directories in your PATH.
       
    64 
       
    65 It relies on the C<exec()> operator, so you will need to make sure
       
    66 that works in your perl.
       
    67 
       
    68 This method of invoking perl scripts has some advantages over
       
    69 batch-file wrappers like C<pl2bat.bat>:  it avoids duplication
       
    70 of all the code; it ensures C<$0> contains the same name as the
       
    71 executing file, without any egregious ".bat" suffix; it allows
       
    72 you to separate your perl scripts from the wrapper used to
       
    73 run them; since the wrapper is generic, you can use symbolic
       
    74 links to simply link to C<runperl.bat>, if you are serving your
       
    75 files on a filesystem that supports that.
       
    76 
       
    77 On the other hand, if the batch file is invoked with the ".bat"
       
    78 suffix, it does an extra C<exec()>.  This may be a performance
       
    79 issue.  You can avoid this by running it without specifying
       
    80 the ".bat" suffix.
       
    81 
       
    82 Perl is invoked with the -x flag, so the script must contain
       
    83 a C<#!perl> line.  Any flags found on that line will be honored.
       
    84 
       
    85 =head1 BUGS
       
    86 
       
    87 Perl is invoked with the -S flag, so it will search the PATH to find
       
    88 the script.  This may have undesirable effects.
