run wxPerl script from finder

How can I get a wxPerl script to run from the finder?

I'd like my app to open straight to it's own top-level window, without
any other window opening - which rules out ScriptGUI.

I've tried changing the filename to end with ".command" - but this
causes a terminal window to open first, which also stays open after my
app has ended.

I've tried using DropScript, which creates a new 'Dropset_permissions'
app from my 'set_permissions.pl' file.
When I double click on it, the application that runs has no window and
a file/open menu.
I've had the Console open while both creating and running the app, and
no errors appear.

Cheers,
Carl

Is some stuff I did to put UNIX executables into a package that Finder will recognize as an application. I don't know about generating a user interface in an Aqua window, but maybe. . .  Not tested in Tiger.
