in thread How start an application on Linux

Thanks to all of you for your kind help. In summary, I conclude that command sudokutrainer.pl is the best choice for Linux.

BTW, on Windows the command sudokutrainer works because there is a batch script  sudokutrainer.bat created automatically in parallel to the Perl script  sudokutrainer.pl.

    In linux you can omit the extension, so just 'sudokutrainer' or sudoku-t or something like this is in fact a better choice to type (sorry, 'sudoku', 'sudo' and 'su' are already caught). Shorter is better

    to start an executable in a terminal you can simply open a terminal, go to the directory and wrote:

    dot-slash-executablename

    $ ./sudokutrainer

    Is the easier way. You can put the program in some place like /usr/local/bin also, export the path, and avoid the need to wrote dot-slash, (you are just saving to type two characters). Of course you need to specify before that the program is executable by "everybody" with:

    # chmod a+x sudokutrainer
      In linux you can omit the extension
      Yes you can, but you have to delete it from the filename itself first (just to clarification for MSWin-only users).
