You have to create a script, then run it from the command line:
c:\Perl>perl myscript.pl
However, for CGI's you'll need a web server...

If all went right you can do it this way in the msdos prompt.
perl c:\mydir\myscript.pl
If you want to do it in your browser, you must first get a http server
such as apache ( http://www.apache.org )
If the server is well running and listen to the address: 127.0.0.1
Now you must make your script like this:
#!c:\mypath\to\perl.exe
print "content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hi World!";
Then call it like this in your browser:
http://127.0.0.1/mypath/to/thescript.pl
Note: This depends what your root directory is. Further instruction about
the server are included with the download.

Now, save this as myscript.pl, in the Perl directory,
and then go to the perl directory, and type:
perl myscript.pl

I'm pretty sure that this is mentioned in that FAQ (Getting
Started->Readme->Getting Started), but anyway.
1. Open notepad.exe
2. write the following line into the noepad window.
print "Hello World\n";
3. Save your file as C:\heloworl.pl
4. Open an MS-DOS window
5. enter the following commands into the MS-DOS window:
c:
perl \heloworl.pl
6. And we're done ;-)

On your computer!
Besides, no one has mentioned that you MUST USE STRICT and don't forget the
w!
Soooooo.... here goes!
In your simple script using notepad type the following:
#!c:\perl\bin\perl -w
use strict;
print "hello\n";
my ($a, $b, $c);
$a = 3;
$b = 5;
$c = $a + $b;
print "The sum is $c\n";
save file as type "All files (*.*)" with a name like: hello.pl
Go to the dos prompt and if your perl is installed correctly and you are in
the directory where
you saved the file "hello.pl" you may type:
perl hello.pl
and it will work.
Good luck, and have fun!
Jody
PS - you may also run perl from the prompt by typing:
perl -e "print \"hello\n\";"

It will work with any suffix (not just '.pl' as this post implies) or
with none. I routinely use '.txt', which makes it easier to get the
file into the text editor (gvim in my setup, Notepad -- ugh! -- by
default).

As an aside, on NT4 you can do this:
c:\> ftype Perl=c:\perl\bin\perl.exe "%1" %*
c:\> assoc .pl=Perl
c:\> set pathext=.pl;%pathext%
This allows you to run perl scripts saved with the .pl extension in the
same way as .exe or .com files - you can set the pathext variable using
the control panel, the assoc and ftype changes should be permanent.

I know this is not strictly perl related but for those of you on
Win32 who want to be able to get your .pl perl scripts into an editor
from explorer you might want to do the following.
In explorer go to View>Options
Select the file types tab and find the .pl file type (or create it if
your install hasn't done so).
Create a new action by clicking on the 'New' button.
Call the action "Edit" and set it to
"C:\WINNT\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE" "%1"
Replacing the path to notepad with the path to your favourite text
editor.
Now when you right click on your perl script you will be given the
option to edit it as well as open it. If you so wish you can also
change the default action to edit instead of open (which runs the
script) so that a double click on the file will edit it. I'm on NT here,
I know you can do the same on win95,98 the theory is the same but the
details may be a little different.

If you've got 5.005_03 that is a fairly recent one - (build 518) is the
latest of their builds. You could try the html help text that comes
with the package - double click on a file called c:\Perl\html\index.html
- or slightly easier see if there is an option off the Start button ~

I'd like to find some slightly more extensive examples than the ones in

examples of how to the the Objects style I'd be mighty gratefull.

My suggestion is don't. The Objects style is pretty useless. If anyone

Yes. Just open /etc/shadow/, write it line by line till you get
the the right user, filter out the password, encrypt the given
input string and compare.
Of course, you'll have to run that as root, but you knew that, didn't you?

I have to agree with you here. CRLF as a line separator is valid ASCII,
and valid in HTML. It's just not the Unix Way. That's an entirely
different case from the tendency of Microsoft tools to use "pretty quotes"
defined only in their proprietary encoding schemes as replacements for
ASCII single and double quotes; the latter is indeed a case of
"moroni[zs]ation."

It's also wrong. It will replace ANY sequence of CR and LF with ONE
newline. This will screw up blank lines in <PRE> fields.
This one ough to work right. It not only processes the 3 "standard" ways
correctly, but also the illegal but oh so frequently encountered
CR+CR+LF sequence, which you can get by uploading HTML files from a PC
in binary, and then downloading them through the web.

Have you tried the example in the IO::Select documentation? It
actually does what it says. I don't know if it scales well, but it
works for me and should also get you started.

Heya,
OK, I have hit a dead end as to how to resolve this. What I want to do is
write a script that can handle multiple returned user input strings ala the
passwd command. I have to rewrite our passwd routine in such a way that it
updates the password utilizing 2 other programs (LDAP and NIS if anybody is
curious). My problem is, I don't know how to stop all STDOUT of passwd from
going to the user, as well as writing to the various prompts of passwd. I'm
using IPC::Open2 on this...anything better? Any ideas?
There must be an easier way to have userland updating of the NIS passwd
map. Is there an equivalent putpwent() function call? I've seen mentions of
setpwent, but I don't think that applies here.
Cheers,

Administrivia:
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.
The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed in the digest.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
