All you have to do is associate the .pl files with perl.exe, wich is probably on C:\Perl\bin. Best regards, my ($author_nickname, $author_email) = ("DaWolf","erabbott\@terra.com.br") if ($author_name eq "Er Galvão Abbott");	[reply]

I have installed a perl interpreter on a Win NT system but the .pl files are not showing up as yellow balls. Man... those aren't "yellow balls", they're pearls (get it?). ------------ :Wq Not an editor command: Wq	[reply]

If you can run your perl scripts from the command line then you already have perl.exe in your system path. Type the windows command path to display your path. This should help you track down where you installed perl! You can then make the file association as described previously. inman	[reply]
Re: Associate .pl files in Windows for ActiveState by Brutha (Friar) on Feb 05, 2004 at 13:16 UTC
If it is ActiveState, it installs C:/Perl/html/index.html as the default documentation index. Search on the left site for ActivePerl FAQ, there for Windows Specifics and there entry Windows 9X/NT/2000. This contains all you need to know with step-by-step advice.
