I'm new in perl, I'll make many syntax or other error in perl, so I
want a good environment to write->execute...
my platform is windows xp

the GNU Emacs, of course

what's the best convenient environment to exercise Perl?

A computer. Seriously! Perl runs on damn near everything. ;-)

my platform is windows xp

That will do.

For a neatly-packaged, easily-installed Perl for Windows:

For some links, dead trees, etc. to help get you started:

write perl program in a editor and then save it as a *.pl file, and
then execute it? but the perl.exe will automatically exit when perl
script is end, and I can't see the result of my script,
the "environment" I asked is there have an editor who could execute
perl immediately(through a HotKey or a menu)

Open two command shells. In one type vi fred.pl (or whatever your favourite
editor is) and in the other you can type perl fred.pl to run the program. The
results will be left on-screen in the second window after the program runs.

Honest that is all you need, the syntax highlighting in vi is particularly
useful as is a tool called perltidy. Perl programmers rarely use IDEs (unless
you count emacs ) and as a result there exist very few IDEs for Perl.

No Perl programmer I have ever known uses an IDE.

Try vim (http://vim.org). It should be able to do what you seem to want it
to do.

Use cmd.exe as a "DOS" box.

Windows key + R, type cmd.exe in the box. I made shortcuts in dirs, you can
also use the command prompt here hack (Google for it).

I use Textpad to edit Perl files, it does syntax highlighting. You can
invoke your script, and capture the output etc.

And stop top posting.

There is a mini perl IDE/editor available on CPAN;

http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/T/TP/TPARVIAI/t-pad-4.04.pl

Has syntax highlighting, in editor execution and some other
interesting stuff. Perhaps most interesting, it is written
in perl.

maybe all people here are working on linux?
hehe, I use EditPlus to write perl and then save as a *.pl file,
then I open the *.pl file in Folder Window, WINDOWS automatically
start perl.exe to execute it, but when the end of the execution,
perl.exe automatically close --- so I can't see the result of the
execution, my problem is: how to stay the perl.exe on the end of
execution?

That's no excuse, there is a port :-D.

so troublesome! I want directly execute the script after I wrote it,

Or use your favorite Windows editor, open a command window and type perl
fred.pl > results.txt to run the program. Open results.txt in your text
editor to see the results.

No, top-posting is when you put your reply at the top of your message.
Most people here prefer it to appear below the text you're replying to,
