Re: Strawberry Perl

Hi,

If I may add one word to davido's commet:
"..You will need to specify which Perl interpreter to use by either modifying your PATH.."
And that you can achieve in so many ways. Presently, I have both ActivePerl and Strawberry Perl installed and I switch between both using simple bat files to modify my PATH like so:

activePerl.bat file

rem Return Perl to ActivePerl path
  
  path;
  path D:\Perl\site\bin;D:\Perl\bin;C:\PHP\;C:\Program Files\PC Connec
+tivity Solution\;%SystemRoot%\system3;%path%

 rem clear the screen
 cls
[download]

strawberryPerl.bat file

rem Add Strawberry Perl to path
  
  path C:\strawberry\perl\bin;%path%

  rem clear the screen
  cls
[download]

bat files

`happy`

Sorry for the delay. This is wonderful. Please let me know which of the following Starwberry batch files needed to include the said code. `rem Add Strawberry Perl to path path C:\strawberry\perl\bin;%path% rem clear the screen cls` [download] cpanp-run-perl.bat perlbug.bat perldoc.bat perlglob.bat perlivp.bat perlthanks.bat I am assuming that I need to include the code in 'cpanp-run-perl.bat', also do I need to add the code at the end of the file. Please help.	[reply] [d/l]

You don't need to include any of the Strawberry Perl bat file, just the path to your Strawberry Perl installation. You will have to create the batch file yourself. Open a text editor like notepad, then write like so: `rem Add Strawberry Perl to path path C:\strawberry\perl\bin;%path% rem clear the screen cls` [download] Then save the files as any name with the extention.bat. You might have to change your "save as type" from ".txt" to "All files (.)". So, that you don't end up with ".txt" extention. Also, take note that the path in the above bat file, might be different from yours. Please, change accordingly. Hope this helps!	[reply] [d/l]
