Message: [QUOTE="babydoe, post: 4784139"] I'll start you off : 1. download the file 'mode-compile.el' [URL]http://www.tls.cena.fr/~boubaker/distrib/mode-compile.el[/URL] and store it in your site-lisp directory. 2. download the file perl-54-info.tar.gz from CPAN and extract the files and store in your 'info' directory. 3. in your info directory open up the 'dir' file and add the following line at the bottom of the file. Development * Perl Modules: (pm). * Perl - Practical Extraction and Report Language: (perl). (be careful that the very last line in the 'dir' file is a blank line otherwise it won't be read by Emacs) 4. in your site-lisp directory create a file 'default.el' (you will have to look at variable exec-path to point to your perl and Emacs binaries) ;; ------------%<--------------------------------------------------------- ;; default.el should contain any convenience settings ;; ;; ;; look and feel customizing ;; (setq debug-on-error t) (setq default-frame-alist '((top . 15)(left . 15) ; indent for cascade frames (width . 80)(height . 30) (cursor-color .

(setq mode-compile-expert-p t) (condition-case err (progn (require 'easymenu) (easy-menu-define mode-compile-menu mode-compile-map "Call compilation according to mode" '("Compile..."

You should now be able to run perl by typing 'ctrl-C c' 8. An aside, on win32, I use TEI Emacs : it's the duck's guts.
