Can I assume you're really not running your perl script in DOS, but rather in a command prompt on a Windows machine?
If the ActiveState install didn't register the file extention .pl with perl, do it now. Make sure the default action is "open". Then you can type: C:\> myperlscript.pl There is also a perl2exe program that bundles everything nicely into an ..exe, and doesn't require perl to be installed on another Windows machine.
