| I'm a newbie to Perl. The problem I am having is that I am not sure how to start. All the books tell me how to write involved programs but I'm stuck at the basics and not one of them talks about it! I have installed perl for Windows XP, and have also installed emacs. I now have an icon for Perl and an icon for emacs on my desktop. My problem is that after I write a program (using emacs) and save it, how do I execute it? I click on the Perl icon and a blank window opens up, and whatever I type in it elicits no response. The cursor simply moves to the next line. Shouldn't this window have some kind of prompt at which we type commands?
Thanks for any help. |
