New to Windows

I've been programming Perl on UNIX for some time now. But now I have to do some Perl programming on Windows XP. My question is how do to run Perl code on Windows and see the error put out when it doesn't run?

RE: New to Windows

Easiest way is to do a Start-->Run & put in "cmd" as the command to open
a command window. Then run your Perl program from there.

As long as the .pl extension is associated with perl.exe, you should
only have to type my_program.pl to run it.

You should see it when you run it if you're in any kind of shell window.

You can get tcsh or bash native ports to Win32 and use them as the your
shell if you're not comfortable with cmd.exe as a shell (I use tcsh).

I assume your running in some sort of xterm type of window on UNIX.
You can actually get xterm for Win32 with the Cygwin package, but it's
not a native port (uses an emulation layer) which I don't like so tcsh
in a standard console window works fine for me.
