Installing Perl on Linux or Windows?

If you are going to be using it on linux for just system admin type work then it should already be installed. Just try typing perl in the command like if you get the perl prompt then it is already installed. If you are planning on using it for CGI purposes then I don't really know how to help.

For windows there is a windows installer if you want it for system programming, but again if you want it for CGI purposes then I can't help you. :) good luck

yeah, activestate (i think) handles that stuff mostly now. you can also search for free perl ide's that help out alot, usually small downloads. (but most require you already have perl installed...they don't come with it, i think perl itself is about 18 megs or so)

I programmed Perl once, and i used the editor DzSoft Perl Editor.
Here you can see some Perl w/ HTML example.

#!/usr/bin/perl



print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";



print <<"HTML";

<html>

<head>

<title>Perl w/ HTML</title>

</head>

<body>

Perl w/ HTML

</body>

</html>

HTML

Correct me if I'm wrong, it's about an year ago i last used Perl.

One doesn't embed Perl in HTML. It's the other way around. When you see that, Perl is building the HTML page. The client doesn't see any of it until it's all done and a response is sent. The correct perception of server-side/client-side is critical to success.
