in reply to Win32 Perl

So, is your problem that it is not integrated as nicely as it is in Linux, since WinNT can't handle #!/usr/bin/perl?

Look at the Windows-specific documentation supplied with ActivePerl, specifically the PerlWin32 page. There's a different command shell with NT (different to command.com) and it CAN be configured to run .pl files if you just type them in.

    You could try 'START camel.pl' but that unfortunately opens a new window (yuck). Also the window closes before you can read the output under Win98, but I only installed it last night. (You can thank Microsoft for that - had to download another two meg to run the install program; but how ActiveState get 40meg into a 8meg install file beats me!
