I don't see an attachment. Howefver I can give you a few tips to make sure
your ActiveState is installed correctly and to launch your script.
1) The #!/usr/bin/perl(or something) line won't do anything in Windows.
Make sure that your scripts have a .pl extension, otherwise Windows
won't know what to do with it.
2) When you open Explorer, do your .pl files have a yellow pearl icon?
If not, hold down SHIFT, right-click, and select Open With... from the
context menu.
In the dialog that opens, make sure "Always use this program for this
type of file" is checked.
Click on Browse... and find perl.exe (c:\perl\bin\perl.exe by default).
Hope that helps.
