Re: Installation of perl

So when debugged it I found that the argumnets which i was sending from Tcl (.tcl file) to perl(.pl file) were not getting passed.

How did you debug? Why did you stop chasing the bug? How did you find out the arguments are not passed? What are the error messages? Are you sure your arguments aren't empty? What does your Path environment variable look like? Are you sure copying a directory tree is all that is with an installation of either perl or tcl? Are you sure no registry changes are made by installing with an installer?

These are the questions that immediately pop up reading your node. Take those as hints; you are providing too little information to solve your problem. See How (Not) To Ask A Question.

Thanks for your reply. And sorry for providing too little information. I'm new to perl as well for SOPW so forgive my mistakes. Coming to the point. The error message which i get is an warning like "use of uninitialised value in some place..." So i concluded that the arguments were not passed. The path variables were "c:\perl\bin" and "c:\Tcl\bin" I was not pretty sure about copying directory tree, but my Lead told me that when perl is installed using active perl it too does the same thing except that it modifies the registry for file type association. Which i too did using Assoc and ftype commands in DOS cmd prompt.	[reply]
