in reply to Installing Perl 5.6.1 on WinDoze 98

Get a pre-comiled binary with an installer. I suggest you get ActivePerl from Active state here http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/. You will want the MSI so just click on that. You will also need the Windows MSI Installer that Microsoft did not ship with Win98. You can get this from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=17343

Install the Microsoft Installer by double clicking on it. Install ActivePerl by double clicking on the package. Follow prompts like any other Windows install. Welcome to Perl!

Cheers

      No worries. Have a look a New Monks which is a node I wrote with heaps of useful stuff on it for those new to Perl and the Monastery.
