All the information you should need about the AS install of Perl should be on your start menu as: Start | Programs | ActiveState ActivePerl 5.6 | Documentation. To answer your specific question, you can open the html file: file:///C:/Perl/html/faq/Windows/ActivePerl-Winfaq4.html and select "How do I associate Perl scripts with perl?" I'd detail the answer for you, but it's already been done, so it'll be easier for both of us if you read the documentation. > 2) How to access perl documentation. a) Start | Programs | ActiveState ActivePerl 5.6 | Documentation b) You can also go to C:\Perl\bin, and run perldoc from there (it is a batch file that emulates perldoc on Unix) c) http://www.perldoc.com d) Install cygwin > > C:\>cd perl > > C:\Perl>perldoc -f getopt > 'perldoc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, > operable program or batch file.

Understand that we are here to help. The feedback you got was based on the information that was sent. It was not meant to be degrading, but you have to look at it from our perspective. Now that you've re-posted, I hope this answers your questions, though running perldoc -f getopt didn't return anything for me, so you might have to check some of the other sources. Hope this helps...
