I'm pretty sure someone knows a simple solution to this. Anyway, here goes:
I'm a Perl beginner using a Windows XP system with ActiveState's Perl port. I've associated the .pl file type with the my perl.exe file, so I can run perl scripts in a DOS-style window by clicking on them. The problem is that the program terminates and disappears as soon as it executes all of its code. A simple program like:
#! C:\Perl
print "Hello, world!";
would run and flash on the screen for only a moment before disappearing. How should I fix this problem and make the program remain on screen until I close it? Thank you.

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).
