in reply to Running Perl script under Windows

If you trust your friend very very much, and have Perl installed you should be able to run
perl <script name>

[download]
Where script name is the name of the script.

If you don't have Perl installed, ask him if there is a preference of which version of Perl to install and download and install it. If no preference try Activestate's Perl

print "Good ",qw(night morning afternoon evening)[(localtime)[2]/6]," fellow monks."
