I believe the original poster is using activestate for windows. And if your hello.pl is in c:\whatever-directory\hello.pl try doing this :- perl c:\whatever-directory\hello.pl # change whatever-directory into the actual directory, for example, I have my hello script stored in d:\study\hello.pl I would execute the script by typing at the dos-prompt :- perl d:\study\hello.pl Hope this will help. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
