Manesh,
Perl is on Linux 7, I installed using RPMs I got from ActiveState's site
(http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/Download.html - Linux RPM).
Here's the code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$Incoming = <STDIN>;
print $Incoming;
print ("\n\n Hello for Test \n\n");
Perl is installed into /usr/bin - at least I think it is. I ran the RPM
from a folder I made in root called ActiveState_Install when I downloaded
it. There's also something that looks like an installation in
/usr/local/ActivePerl-5.6/bin - I tried using this and it did the same
thing.
Any help is appreciated - sorry for the incomplete message previously.
-John

John,
what operating system have you installed ActiveState PERL on??
i think its meant to run only on Win32 systems. so how can you use the chmod
UNIX command??
what is the full path to your perl executable??
can you post the exact code that you are trying to execute (test) here??
pl. provide as much info as you can.
this will help you get a working solution, faster.
