Hello I learned Perl on a Unix System and I would like to use perl on a PC. Do I need to install active perl? What are the steps to running perl on a PC? Thanks, Andrew -- Well this is how I do it... Install ActivePerl http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ I use PerlEdit for the editor... Which work just fine, however after the 30 day trial you will lose the ability to debug and run your scripts from the editor. I would recommend running/debugging them from the command prompt anyway, so no big deal. http://www.indigostar.com/perledit.html Let me know if you have any questions. BTW: your probably familiar w/ cpan> to install your modules. To do this w/ ActivePerl, just open a command prompt and type "ppm". Perl Package Manager. Hope this Helps.
