    Where did you put the plutil.pl?

    Easiest thing to do, put the file.plist and plutil.pl in the same folder.

    In your cmd window, first change your default directory to that folder:

    cd cwork

    if you put both in cwork.

    Then run the script

    perl plutil.pl file.plst

    And you should get a conversion file created.
