In the start-menu, you'll see an option called "Run" or something like that. Click on it. Type 'cmd' or if that doesn't work, 'command'. (I forget which one it is, since i don't use Windows 9x/NT much (not)) A window with the DOS prompt should pop up, at the command prompt type: `C:\Windows\>perl script.pl` [download] Where `script.pl` is the name of the script you're trying to execute. If that doesn't work, you'll either need to download and install the perl interpreter or add your perl directory to your path. -- ar0n \| Just Another Perl Joe	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Update: Had a typo in the id, so it used to point to the wrong question. how do I make my perl script readable by a browser with windows 98? in Categorized Questions and Answers looks similar to this question. See if Q&A can help. Russ Brainbench 'Most Valuable Professional' for Perl	[reply]

You need to be running NT web server. (I am not sure about the personal Web server by MS for 95/98). Because what you really need to do is set up a Service for ActiveState PERL. Then the web server will interpet it. You may also need to take and do an association for the web server. (That is what my IIS admin told me). --BigJoe Learn patience, you must.

RE: Re: run perl script by ar0n (Priest) on Aug 07, 2000 at 07:16 UTC
Yup, you can do this. Try piping it to the 'more' command: `perl script.pl \| more` [download] the '\|' is a pipe-sign, not a capital I. -- ar0n \| Just Another Perl Joe	[reply] [d/l]

You can also change the amount of lines that the DOS window will store, so you can scroll back over more. -or- You can also try to program your own pauses into the program's output, and then read it that way. -or- You can pipe all of your output to a text file and then read it at your hearts content in Notepad or whatever your text editor of choice is.
