I recently downloaded the windows installer 1.1+ and the AS Package from www.activestate.com. I have just gotten a book called "PERL A Beginners Guide". Just like the book told me to do. It then said to go and type in command which took me to the C:\windows\desktop> I then typed in "perl hello.pl" after I wrote the first little program. It didn't work. So I was told to put in my autoexec.bat "PATH%PATH%;:C:\Perl\bin" It then worked when I typed "perl -v" but when I typed in-Perl hello.pl it didn't. So I took the program and put in on my desktop, only then did it work. So my question is this was I supposed to put the saved Perl programs in some special file or folder? And will I still be able to access it thro my c:\windows\desktop> prompt? Or will I have to do it someother way? P.S. I have only read thro to how to write my first hello world program. which isn't very much. So I sure could use some help. thank you.
