Perl Compilation Problems

Post by Mario » Fri Aug 17, 2007 4:21 pm

I need to compile a Perl program and was wondering if anybody had a Perl compiler that can be run on an older computer. Or, if they could compile the program for me.

Pearl is a scripting language, you don't compile it. If you have the program you coded perl up in you run it in there, much in the way you'd do with BASIC or bash. If you need to get an interpreter, a simple google search should work.

So, I would search google for "Perl Interpreter"?

http://www.perl.com/download.csp#win32

Download this, it should be what you need. After installation, when it starts up you should come to a prompt. At the prompt you should be able to enter commands, strings or begin writing a whole program.
