You don't. Perl is a scripting language.
Use perl -e *.pl to run them or else chmod it to 700 and just run it.
You need to have perl on your system. Run perl -v and see do you get an
output. If you don't then go get perl. Note the first line of a perl
script is
#! <path to perl>
Make sure that's right in your .pl
