Well, he could launch the Perl interpreter. From your reaction I guess you
think he was opening it in notepad or something, that would probably be bad.
It sounds like he's just launching it from explorer though.
You can start typing stuff in at the blinking white line and when you're
done hit <control-d><enter> and whatever you typed in will be interpreted.
Try...
print "Hello World!\n";
$wait = <>;
