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.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
