Actually, Windows does.  Create "xxx.pl" as a file, assuming you don't have 
Perl installed. Click on it. It brings up a web page that says "Hey, this 
looks like a Perl file. Do you want to go download the Perl development 
environment?"

I wonder how much MS charges for being listed, that so many interpreters are 
*not* listed there.
