Re: Problem with Perl

On the DOS prompt move into the directory where U have the perl software, using the proper pathname
type perl <filemame.pl>

Hi

OR

write a simple windows batch file ".bat" and invoke your program inside of it. Then run the bat file.


tnx

In DOS prompt you enter you file.pl directory,then use the command: perl file.pl

OR, as jimjim2k said: create a .bat file type the following line in your bat file:
perl file.pl


Your file.pl must be current directory.
 

Problem with Perl

Use full path name of perl file as a parameter of perl, then file.pl can be in any directory.
 

Problem with Perl

first check ur system variables whether the perl is set in path & ur try.pl file for the same interpeter variable

Hi

This is critical only when you are invoking cgi-bin perl scripts in M$windows.
In this case you must specify windows local path to perl in the first line of perl

#!/usr/bin/perl

->

#!c:/mypath/myperl/perl


tnx

Re: Problem with Perl

search for cpan sites using google or active state perl site
 

Problem with Perl

check your PATH setting for the perl first, then
you can use PATHEXT setting to run the perl script
directly :)
