Hello,
I am new to Perl so would you please apologise if this is an FAQ I
didn't read about earlier. I have the Lama Book here and I have had a
look into the ActivePerl FAQs, but I can't find anything about it. I
probably don't know the correct term to search for.
This is my question:
I have tried to use html2latex with ActivePerl 5.8.0 on my Windows 98
system recently. It works well when I put the script in the same
directory as the HTML file to be processed by the script. I call the
script using "perl html2latex myfile.html" from that same directory.
Now I put it in a directory that is in my PATH for further usage. It
doesn't work.
Perl does not find the script.
However, _I_ can find the script when I enter "which html2latex".
But where exactly does Perl look for scripts?
I tried to put the file in one of the directories other than "." that
are in @INC, but this didn't work either...
Do I have to write a DOS batch file for running Perl scripts that are
in my PATH?
Thanks in advance!
Juergen.
