If you want a Perl script to run as a custom command on Microsoft Windows, you must prefix the script name with the complete path to Perl. The management server already has a directory containing the Perl executable inside the folder
%JBOSS4_DIST%\server\appiq\remoteScripts\perl\bin. You would prefix the script name as follows:
.\perl\bin\perl myscript.pl
where
.\perl\bin\ is the directory containing the Perl executable in the RemoteScripts directory perl is the executable
myscript.pl is the script you want to run.
