Sorry, I am just trying to focusing on the missing parts, something like how to run a perl script without installing Perl...

The point is no more Oracle, or Apache or whatever, but Perl herself. If the simplest perl line can't run correctly, Whatelse could be on the furture ?

So, my starting point is for the simplest, defaultest starting. Breaking down the problem's combinations. [snap] Sorry if my comments are not Pro enough. But on the way I starting Perl, unlink Delphi, Turbo C.... Perl is just looking like an silence army, stand by for action, but nothing more is signaled. All the way I was trying, was to make the "Hello World" get success, at my very beginning start time =) Regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
