Hi

OR

write a simple windows batch file ".bat" and invoke your program inside of it. Then run the bat file.


tnx

In DOS prompt you enter you file.pl directory,then use the command: perl file.pl

OR, as jimjim2k said: create a .bat file type the following line in your bat file:
perl file.pl


Your file.pl must be current directory.

Use full path name of perl file as a parameter of perl, then file.pl can be in any directory.

Hi

This is critical only when you are invoking cgi-bin perl scripts in M$windows.
In this case you must specify windows local path to perl in the first line of perl

#!/usr/bin/perl

->

#!c:/mypath/myperl/perl


tnx

check your PATH setting for the perl first, then
you can use PATHEXT setting to run the perl script
