How can I simply use one perl script in any folder?

I have just added this script to PATH variable, but it does not work.

I need to use it in any directory as:

perl script.pl SOME ARGUMENTS

I have windows 7 Ultimate.

Thank you for advices!

While the system is using PATH to find the program to run, the system is executing perl, not script.pl.

Either tell perl to search PATH for the script,

perl -S script.pl SOME ARGUMENTS

Or launch the script directly.

script.pl SOME ARGUMENTS

Windows will use file associations to determine how to launch the file in the latter case.
