in reply to Can't open perl script: Permission denied

When you type 
perl -v

[download]
at the command prompt What do you see? You should see version information. Also, if you look at a directory listing, do you see your "hello" script file present? What happens if you type this at the command prompt: 
perl -e "print \"Hello World\n\""

[download]
Just copy that and paste it in at the c:\> prompt

      Hi Chris21,

      I'm glad you've managed to sort out what was causing you difficulties. It certainly puzzled the Monks who tried to help you. Perhaps you could share with us what the problem actually was so that, if another monk comes along with similar symptoms, there is a better chance of providing a timely solution to their woes.

      Keep paying frequent visits to the Monastery in the future. It is a fantastic resource for all things Perl and will expose you to a wide range of other peoples problems to learn from.

      Cheers,

      JohnGG
