Perl problem.

I download perl, I install it all and now…nothing. I try about a dozen scripts but all perl does is open what looks like a command prompt then it closes abruptly. I know how to run a script but I dont understand why its doing this. I tried searching for an answer and I' am sure this is a common problem but I cant find a damn answer. Somebody know why this is happening? I' am using windows xp and I have ActivePerl-5.10.0.1003-MSWin32-x86-285500. I ran the scripts with notepad.

Try opening a command prompt and navigating to the directory of the scripts and run them with: perl script.pl

If it doesn't work make sure you have the perl directory in your PATH environment variable.

Spyware, you insolent prick. I thought for sure I was rid of you, like a shit taken last week. You dont expect to see it again, but here you are. A Script Kiddie is some noob using other peoples scripts and dont have the patience or ability to learn because their ignorance is already burned into their minds (for an example of this take a look at spyware). I' am learning this even though its problematic. You should learn some manners.

Knowing your history, KING, your post is absolutely hilarious and completely worthless.

A bit like you.

Now I know I' am talking to a baboon who found a computer. Anyone with any intelligence whats so ever will acknowledge when they are wrong when faced with the facts. Yet you still persist to insult, have you learned nothing? What are you a 12 year old jackass?

Dude, come on, be real here. Read your post again, then read your signature. After that, read the answer. In a way you deserve this, really.

Yeah, guess I' am taking my own advice.
