Re: Execute a Perl code without ".pl" extension

For Windows you'll need to add ";.pl" to the PATHEXT environment variable. (given that the .pl extension is associated with the perl executable, which is always the case with a normal Active Perl installation.)

Thanks holli, for that information! When I saw the title of this node, my first thought was that it would answer a question I, too, have been having, ever since installing Perl on this new laptop. It seemed natural to assume the question was related to running on Windows ... but I had to read down to the last of the messages before I found the only one which applied to my situation ... yours. Danke sehr ;) @ARGV=split//,"/:L"; map{print substr crypt($_,ord pop),2,3}qw"PerlyouC READPIPE provides"	[reply]
