Hi,
I just tried to get Perl running on a Windows 2000 machine (coming from
Mac OS X) and started by installing PXPerl (http://pxperl.com).
Installation went ahead without any errors.
But I have not figured out yet, how to a run a script.
I tried to run a simple script in the console simply by typing
'helloWorld.pl' (i.e. the name of the script). Upon doing that an
application called SciTE opens and displays the file (SciTE looks like
being a simple editor). Trying out the menu 'Tools -> Compile', I get
the output:
What is going wrong here? Or, what I am doing wrong?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Markus
P.S.: The script:
#!perl
print "Hello World!\n";
It has DOS line endings.

The system cannot find the file specified.
