title: How can I run a Perl script without using the command line?
body: <p>I have written a few Perl scripts that allow me to do my job faster. Each of these scripts is run with a command like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>perl PerlScript.pl InFile &gt; OutFile
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Both InFile and OutFile are generally tab-delimited files that the rest of my workplace only sees as Excel file. My coworkers would benefit from using these scripts but they are intimidated by the idea of running programs from a command line. <strong>Is there some way to run a Perl script from a more user-friendly interface like a GUI?</strong> My ideal solution would allow them to drag an Excel file into a folder and click a button with the mouse which would produce a new Excel file they could drag back to wherever they need it.</p>
  
  <p>I know nothing about Visual Basic other than that it exists but I have an inkling it might be useful to this problem. Is it possible to run Perl scripts within a Visual Basic script? Is it reasonable to think that someone who is afraid of the command line and computer science in general will be able to comfortably run Visual Basic scripts?</p>
  
  <p>NOTE: I use a Mac OS as do most of my coworkers. A Windows-specific solution would be good because we have a few Windows computers dedicated to tasks that, for whatever reason, are easier done on a Windows OS.</p>
