1 Install Perl on Windows XP

Shelly -

I came across the same problem - I also use WinXP SP2 Home edition and was just wanting to run some perl scripts ... anyways, you have to:

1. Open notepad to type your perl script ala:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "hello world\n";

2. Save as hello.pl and save it under in C:\whatever

3. Open your command prompt (start>run>cmd)

4. Type in c:\whatever\hello.pl and press enter

5. Presto!

Hope this helps.
