Question on Perl (.pl) association

[Martin Gainty]

Hello David
I do not have tipftp.pl on my box although I found this from Allen Gordon
http://snallen.lsu.edu/lib/doc/commands/armstrong_tftp_server.shtml
Vim editor is not yet installed..although I would be open to specific
suggestions on how to accomplish the associative task with these utilities.
I was thinking that the only other way to acomplish this is to install a
preprocessor for command line input to sniff for .pl extension which would
invoke cygwin perl passing the argument with .pl extension along as an
argument.
There has to be an easier way.
Thanks,
Martin
