What I do when trying to run a perl script under M$ is run it from the
command line: perl scriptName.pl
You need to make sure that you have the perl executable in your path. (Your
path can be found in C:\autoexec.bat)
The options for perl on the DOS command line, at least from my experience,
are the same as those under the Unices.
If you haven't already, I try not to make assumptions :-), get ActivePerl
from http://www.activestate.com, they make all of thier documantation,
including how to use perl under Win32, available in HTML format, so you just
need to open a web browser and point it to
$PATH_TO_PERL_INSTALL\Docs\index.html
