You do not need to install anything on that host. You can install the msi in another windows host and copy the c:\perl folder (if you choose to standard location) to the host where you need to run the script. After doing that, you can run your Perl scripts from a cmd prompt. Open cmd.exe and in there type the path to perl.exe (if you have copied it to c:\perl, it will be c:\perl\bin\perl.exe) and the path to your script. So if you have your script in d:\scripts\test.pl, you type in cmd.exe: c:\perl\bin\perl.exe d:\scripts\test.pl If you want to associate the extension pl with perl.exe, then you need to follow the instructions in here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490912.aspx When you install the active state msi, those things are automatically done for you, that is the only difference. -- natxo
