How can I specify which files are executable. On a windows system there are the normal ones like .exe, .bat, .com, etc. What I want to do is to tell emacs that another type of file is executable, so that I can just type the filename and have it execute like any other command. Specifically, a perl script. I want to be able to execute say "myscript.pl" without having to type: perl path_to_script/myscript.pl. I have the file association set in explorer, and the path to the script is in my path. I can execute it in cmd.exe by typing myscript.pl, but not in eshell. Any ideas?
