Subject: Executing perl code on the command line
I am running ActivePerl 5.8.6 on Windows XP.
I am unable to execute a statement like -- perl -e '<perl code>' --
I always get this response: Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.
Does not matter if I use (', ", or `) .. same response expect it can't find the string terminator matching the used quotation mark.
Try printing this :) perl -e "print 'Hello World'"
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for any assistance you may give me.
