Thanks!
but the path is not configured on its own. When I run PERL from the command
prompt, it does give me the COMMAND NOT FOUND error.
What do I do then?

Hi Prachi
I am also new to perl but no problem I can help you on this. If you have
any more queries then don't hesitate

Hi,
I have WIN 2000 installed and have just started programming perl. Can
somebody tell me how to set the PATH for the bin folder for the PERL
executable? The #! operator does not work.
This is not required under windows. When you installed perl the path was
configured
accordingly. To test this go to dos prompt from windows (run cmd) now at
the prompt type perl and then press enter. if command not found error is
not displayed then Perl is properly installed
#! line is ignored as rem statement under windows, this line is very
important under unix
as the program has to know the path where perl is located. But if you want
your code to work fine on both win and unix platform then please include
the following
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
and don't forget '-w'
Thanks,
Prachi

Joel
