Hi all, How do you execute 1 liners from the windows command prompt similar to perl -e 'print "test\n";' that we run in unix like systems? Every time I try something along these lines I get the following error C:\perl>perl -e 'print "test\n"' Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1. Thanks. Aren't you missing a ";". I am assuming that perl in both environments would be the same; therefore, your command would look as follows: C:\perl>perl -e 'print "test\n";' instead of C:\perl>perl -e 'print "test\n"' HTH, someone please correct me if operating environments are different.
