What's wrong with my installation

[Michael]

Hi,

I just installed ActivePerl-5.8.8.819-MSWin32-x86-267479 on my windows
XP. Then I opened an notepad to write the following code

#! /usr/bin/perl -w
print "Hello, world.\n";

Then I did not see a perl icon in my windows explorer. Why? Shall I do
anything else? What's the usage of Perl Package Manager? How to run
Perl?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Michael

How is using .plx rather than .pl an error? Learn to use the OS you prefer
to use.

Since no one's actually mentioned why that's bad... .plx is
ActiveState's extension for running the perlex dll from IIS. If you
give your scripts that extension in Windows and don't explicitly call
the perl.exe interpreter the registry lookup will result in the dll
being used, which will not provide the results one expects.
