Basically, it doesn't matter. Preferably, create a directory for your Perl code somewhere on your disk drive. Use any editor you like (my preference is TextPad from http://www.textpad.com/) and write your code, i.e. for starters: use warnings; print "Hello, World!\n"; Save that as hello.pl in your directory. Now, open a DOS box (i.e. Start Menu => Run => cmd.exe on Win2k/XP), and change to your Perl directory. Now you can run your code using the command perl hello.pl If you use Textpad, you can also integrate Perl in the editor as a tool. Write your code, save it, and the hit a simple key combo like CRTL+1 to imediately run your code. The output is catured in another editor window.
