You can add a DropHandler to the registry manually (or just run the perl
program provided below)

###########################
use Win32::TieRegistry;
$Registry-> Delimiter("/");
$perlKey = $Registry-> {"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Perl/"};
$perlKey-> {"shellex/"} = {
	"DropHandler/" =>  {
		"/"=> "{86C86720-42A0-1069-A2E8-08002B30309D}"
	}};
###########################

Once that is done - any icon with the .pl extension should receive the
filenames in @ARGV.
