in reply to Uninstalling Perl off WINNT

Not all that much to it: 

    > rmdir /s /q c:\perl
    > assoc .pl=

[download]
though you can delete a couple of more trees from the registry if you really want to. For more details, read the batch file that gets run in order to install that version of Perl. I'd go read it myself but ActiveState wants my e-mail address before they'll show it to me.

Update: I saw the form and gave up. I didn't read any of the weasel words above the form. If I'd had stronger motivation to donwload ActivePerl, then I'd probably have bothered to read. But then, I'd probably have looked for an alternate distribution of Perl anyway.

    Just for the record, ActiveState doesn't require an e-mail address, they just request it. The "next" link will take you to the download page even if the form is empty.

    Of course I'm assuming you are talking about the ActivePerl download page - and we all know what happens when we ass-u-me ;)
