Try Start/Program Files/Accessories/Command Prompt to get to the imitation DOS mode.

Hello.

I downloaded it, but how do I do the console part in windows? Dos prompt? If yes, do I need to copy the perl.exe file into the directory I want to run it in?

I am on windows xp.

Thanks.

Hello.

I have that version of Perl with ActivePerl [I guess] and Phptriad and phpdev [sure], and those 3 modules are not there.

Also, there is no installer included with them from the cpan site. All I can do is run those perl commands, which are really tough.

Any ideas?

??:

Hang on, you're confusing things here. Perl has been ported onto many Operating Systems. It's not a web server 'thing'.

You can install any module you wish from CPAN. There's a very simple installer, too. All the modules you listed come with the latest version of Perl. It would be more beneficial for you to download the latest release of Perl.

How do you know these modules aren't installed? DBI.pm has been distributed with Perl since version 5.003 (back in 1997) so this gotta be on your machine

LOL! Ya just gotta love that.

I have no idea. Only perl stuff I got installed was via RPM. (I'm using Mandrake 8.0 for my dinky little test web server)
