What version are you running (see last paragraph for how to find out).

I would expect to find it here instead (at least on my 5.8.6 Build 811
[slightly old] version):  C:\Perl\html\OLE-Browser\Browser.html
but regardless of where it is, continue on.

I would expect you to get a line at the top that says that the file has some
activex controls and you need to perform some action.

This is what I get:
"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage
from running scripts or Activex controls that could access your computer.
Click here for options...    X"

All you need to start coding in Perl is an editor and maybe a console window
to run them from.  After that you can get into more complicated stuff where
you interact with a browser or the more esoteric Windoze features like OLE/ODBC
etc.

To start with, go to a console window and type "perl -v" and that should tell
you if your install is ok and give you the version info.  If the Perl tree
didn't get added to your path, you may have to qualify it "c:\perl\bin\perl -v".
