Hello All,

Is there an Active Scripting Engine available for Strawberry Perl?

Over the past few days I've been searched for a way to use Strawberry Perl with WSH (Windows Script Host), but have not found a way. If I try to run a script using WSH (i.e.: "wscript helloworld.pl"), I keep getting a Windows Script Host error indicating "There is no script engine for file extension ".pl"."

It's not as simple as associating the .pl file extension to perl.exe.

Basically what I need is the equivalent of ActivePerl's PerlScript (perlse.dll):

PerlScript - ActivePerl Documentation

Thank you in advance for any information anybody can provide.

Best Regards,
Tekky
