Problems with my perl interpreter

[velious]

I downloaded the latest interpreter from

http://www.perl.com/download.csp

.the stable.tar.gz file. When it got done downloading, I clicked on the file and it said some other file is needed to open it, or something like that. I have not installed apache yet, maybe thats why, but I read that I can make scripts in ms-dos by typing perl ./myscript.pl or something like that, so I did not bother to dl apache yet. could that be whats wrong?

I assume you use windoz cos you said you were running the script using ms-dos? :confused:

you should download the active perl here
http://www.activeperl.com/Products/ActivePerl/

is compatibile with windoz :)

[velious]

[YUPAPA]

What is the difference in the MSI installation and the AS package installation? :confused:

[dswimboy]

AS provides no uninstall. it is a compressed archive. MSI is recommended. use AS if MSI doesn't work.
