Windows Hyperlinks to Perl scripts do not run scripts

I have several scripts that create commands from entered data. These are used within several different installation documents. I attempted to show the various procedures in Word or Excel documents with hyperlinks to either the scripts or shortcuts pointed to the scripts. The end result is they are opened in the Notepad application instead of being executed. File extensions are properly set in the Registry and will open and execute in a window double clicking the shortcuts. Is using hyperlinks possible? Strawberry Perl and Windows 7 64-bit

I don't believe you will be able to execute a script via a hyperlink. The link links to the file, yes, but seeing as its part of a document, and not actually residing on the system itself as a separate file, I believe the system won't see it as a file to execute. Granted, I have never tried that, but those are my feelings, which seem correct per your description.

Regards,

Jeff
