> 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).
