Perl Please Help

Perl is driving me crazy. I know its interpreted, and I have active perl, I have absolutely no idea how I'm supposed to run the script. Some insight would be appreciated.

First create a directory for you perl files using command prompt, then switch to that directory, then run the file:

Start>run>"command">"create directory here ">"cd name of directory">"perl name of file"

That may have been confusing, becuase i forgot how to create a directory…

BTW "" is what you type in..

Wow, I'm a dumbass!

How so?

ok activeperl , you should have installed the .msi if you can't even do that , if you haven't go do it , then Start > Run > CMD (or however you get there) > cd C:\perl\bin (enter) > yourrfileyousavedhere.pl

idk if this works on windows but u can save a file in like My Documents where CMD should start you then type > perl myfile.pl (enter)
