RE: Running Perl on PC

[Gomez, Juan]

Hi 

Well first of all if your PC has WinXp you need to download active perl
But the most important is that there are some difference between both
perl's
I would recommend you google a bit to see some tutorial just to get the
correct sintaxis
Or to buy a book "perl by example" has both Win and Unix


For active perl install
Active perl does most of the instalation don't worry

I need to install active perl? What are the steps to running perl on a

Thanks,

ActivePerl from ActiveState is the best way to go in my opinion.  You
can install it with a quick MSI and it will automatically associate the
Perl (.pl, .plx, etc) extensions with Perl.

It also comes with a nice package manager, PPM, that lets you quickly
find precompiled modules for Windows.

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.

Brian

If you're used to 'vi' on *NIX, download gvim for Windows (v. 6.4 just
came out).  It provides pretty much all the features available in vim
for UNIX.

NOTE:  I'm not trying to start an editor-of-choice war on the list, just
trying to help in transitioning from *NIX to Windows.
