Perl on Windows, file associations and I/O redirection

Can someone explain the difference between calling a perl script via file association versus calling the same script explicitly via perl.exe?

I know this is an old thread, but it's important to note that Microsoft appears to have reversed the polarity of this setting in Windows 10. No idea why they would do that, but this had me pulling my hair out for a day. See my other posted question (Perl Scripts on Windows 10 run from Explorer but not Command Prompt), and especially the linked MSDN post there.
