In that case you would probably be best serverd by redesigning your script to use Perl idioms, rather than blindly translating your batch script line for line (e.g. your hello world example is a one liner in Perl: print "Hello World\n" while (1);). Also if you intend to port to another platform, then see 'perldoc perlport' for starters. Also, on a pedantic note, the language is called Perl, the interpreter is called perl. The is no PERL. It is not an acronym, except for purely humourous porpoises :-).
