Getting back to the question "how did you install Perl?" - That I forget - it was so many years ago to be honest. However, I use Perl at my work. And, what ended up happening was, any time I switched a position in my company or received a new computer, I usually copied & pasted files that were in the C:\Perl_New & C:\Perl_Newest folders somewhere on our company network. And, then I simply copied & pasted my files to the new computer - and I really didn't have any issues. I use the C:\Perl_Newest - I don't use the C:\Perl_New
When I do perl -v from the command line, it says the below:
C:\Users\pMalle001>PERL -V

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
