Perl

Hey,

I ahve downloaded and installed Strawberry PERL on my Windows 7 machine and have written the following perl script below and saved it to my desktop as test.pl

print "Neil";

How do I run this perl script?

[Shrapnel_N5]

there must be a file somewhere, called perl.exe
you have to put your test.pl into same directory, start console, switch to this directory and type
perl test.pl

Try this:

1) Open a command window(look in your Program Files folder or search your system's Help).


2) Type the part in bold at the prompt:

....> perl -v

That should print out some information about the version. If that works then:

2)

...> cd \path\to\your_programs_folder

(cd = change directory)

3)
C:\path\to\your_programs_folder> perl test.pl
