This was a reported issue and it is solved in a later testing release
(build 1998 I think). If you need this then get the 2007 build from
here:

or wait until the next stable release.

The best way is *not* to rely on Windows file extension associations.
Better to specifically specify the perl interpreter:
DEFAULT perl D:/CVSRep/OPSTest/CVSRoot/verifymsg.pl

Please be aware that there are a lot of security settings to handle on
Win2003. Microsoft has pretty much locked it down so you may be
needing some policy changes as well...
