Re: Using Perl on Windows

i all, I have only used Perl on a Unix platform. I am trying to do something right now that would require me to use Perl on a Windows platform. I have downloaded Perl onto my machine and I am ready to go, but I very lost.

strange. Usually it is the other way around.

In any case, most all popular modules are available on Win32 platform. Go to ppm.activestate.com to see the complete list.

Although, the problem you are setting out to solve above is likely gonna be solved with LWP and not with CGI and H::T.

LWP is way cool. After you master it, take a look at WWW::Mechanize (aka mech) which extends LWP and is very popular. I also found the book Spidering Hacks to be an interesting read and not expensive.	[reply]
