> On Windows Active State perl whenever I try to run the program
"print("Hello World.\n");";
command line scripts on winx is a pain. It doesn't handle quoting very
well. Note here you've got the script enclosing dbl quotes in the script
itself. Even on *nix you'll have troubles w/ that. On linux you could do
(note enclosing single quotes):
$ perl -e 'print("Hello world.\n");'
but on windows, you're better off just writing the script to a file and
working that way. Or changing your cmd.com to something more flexible ;->
(seriously, there is a bash etc. for winx).
