You can create a .cmd file to handle drag and drop for <a href="http://srt2html5.blogspot.com/p/srt-to-easycaptions.html">srt2ez.pl</a>.<br />
Your script can be anywhere*, and so can your srt files.<br />
<br />
1. Use Notepad or any text editor, not a word processor to enter <br />
<div style="color: #aadd99;">cd "%~p1"<br />
perl C:\your\path\srt2ez.pl %~nx1</div>where "your\path" is actually your path to srt2ez.pl<br />
You can copy and paste the full path from Explorer's Address Bar.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioKcao5HvcFyL3n7JP5eYmmZLGKywndLEScbAQAruYFnGMmqR83KWxu-mVds5TIt-mMUjmA2qKS-L1zgcxRjYdhuWpUT-oQJL6onSPYYkmUUNLhdigtuReIFV52lxppbLRH7LGQSYDgdc/s1600/demo.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioKcao5HvcFyL3n7JP5eYmmZLGKywndLEScbAQAruYFnGMmqR83KWxu-mVds5TIt-mMUjmA2qKS-L1zgcxRjYdhuWpUT-oQJL6onSPYYkmUUNLhdigtuReIFV52lxppbLRH7LGQSYDgdc/s400/demo.PNG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Save the file with the .cmd extension.<br />
<br />
Now you can drag and drop to the srt2ez.cmd file, and the output file will be in the same directory.<br />
*"anywhere" being a path without spaces, seems perl doesn't like quotes.<br />

We were the top dragger south of San Fransisco because of the talent of Paul Benson, my captain. It was a very warm El Nino that year. We would troll bonita running out from the San Simeon Bay anchorage and see Marlin jumping too. All the San Diego fish followed the warm water up the coast, and all our fish were up off Eureka. Paul could get close enough to that wreck without hanging up on it, most of time.<br /><br />Once when we did hang up, but got free, we recovered not only the trawl we were towing, but three others - two he'd lost there previously, and another. That is why "The Wreck" was also known as "Paul's gear locker."<br /><br />Here's a picture of Paul.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMYeQsUwFpgNH0MxNiRE1HEIuXL9a9-Wb4b8_cyDOiX4P7UMT66aQIUBGRRCVtXrjGDjP_VlUD8kkjN1j1E591MVKC8l4BR7KcgC2CHhorCLgo__Rva9lQ95POv3nC2CLW2MLkPFL7Zgs/s1600/Paul_B_mending.BMP"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 312px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMYeQsUwFpgNH0MxNiRE1HEIuXL9a9-Wb4b8_cyDOiX4P7UMT66aQIUBGRRCVtXrjGDjP_VlUD8kkjN1j1E591MVKC8l4BR7KcgC2CHhorCLgo__Rva9lQ95POv3nC2CLW2MLkPFL7Zgs/s320/Paul_B_mending.BMP" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543274656301203666" border="0" /></a><br /></span> <span style=";font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:100%;" ><br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAXmpGTtUNbtZzDdNYSFhYIKxsiImzjz5xbIhbKIbjLjYyX7733iKSGcRRW7jR6c47PDoXiESeTBPfAOMMAiysazwiaHU3u4mN_D7N6UI6szUMyirlkvOUri_a6NMpJQsTGaf-yQJdGcc/s1600-h/NetDrapingShipwreck.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 228px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAXmpGTtUNbtZzDdNYSFhYIKxsiImzjz5xbIhbKIbjLjYyX7733iKSGcRRW7jR6c47PDoXiESeTBPfAOMMAiysazwiaHU3u4mN_D7N6UI6szUMyirlkvOUri_a6NMpJQsTGaf-yQJdGcc/s320/NetDrapingShipwreck.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430567412654233490" border="0" /></a><br /><span style=";font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:100%;" ><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The starboard bridge of the Montebello is partially obscured by fishing nets.
