in thread Creating a random generator

Installing Perl locally is merely a convenience because it makes testing and error tracking far easier. If you are starting out with Perl I really recommend the more convenient way because debugging things remotely is more difficult by far.

Perl can also "run" .shtml files as long as these look like Perl programs. Which are far easier debugged on the command line. But you're free to choose your own way.

    Corion...do you know where else I could possibly download ActiveState Perl. I got a copy from their website, but it will not unzip due to an error. I would really like to take a look at it.

    Update

    I knew I should try again before posting, but I am such a blond sometimes. :) As of now, I have ActiveState Perl installed on my computer. Now, how often I use is the question.
