FM script from command line?

[JackP]

Is there a way to run a FM script from the command line on Windows?

I'd like to write a Perl script to assist with batch importing, and I can execute a DOS command line from Perl. If this were on a Mac, I'd use Applescript. Is there anything I can do?

Not being a Windows expert, and just thinking off the top of my head, can you specify a file to be opened with the command line? If so, then perhaps you could create a FileMaker file that has a script that calls the script in the file you really want. Set this script in your temporary FMP file to be the script the runs when the file opens and have the script close the file when it's finished.
