cscript + perlscript

[bentium]

hi!


first post here Smile


i just have a freshly installed windows server 2003 EE. I installed a domain on it (just one with a few OU's and users, for testing around).
now, i want to make some ADSI/LDAP scripts in perlscript (we are learning that on school, so we can create users and such from a script).


so i checked if i had cscript, wich i did. I also checked if i had Wscript version 5.6, what also was present.


Now, my teacher has permitted us only to use perlscript, so i want to activestate's site and downloaded the latest perl version.

i installed it (all went fine), rebooted my computer and gave it a first shot with a stupid small script: contents: print "hello world";

i tried to execute this script by the following command:

cscript //E:PerlScript helloworld.pls

cscript started up, paused for about 2 seconds, for then returning to the prompt, without posting the "hello world" string.

i've checked everything and cant figure out what the h*** is wrong with it.
if i run a vbscript, it just works :s (but i need to work in perlscript!)


do you guys know what is wrong here?
