Check Perl Installation: Step-by-Step

To check if Perl is installed on your computer, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Command Prompt or terminal window.
2. Type “perl -v” in the command prompt or terminal and press Enter.
3. If you see the Perl version and some other information, it means that Perl is already installed on your computer.
4. If you encounter the error message “perl is not recognized as an internal or external command,” it means that Perl is either not installed or not properly configured.
5. In this case, you can visit the official Perl website (https://www.perl.org/) to download and install Perl.

Please note, the above steps are applicable for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems.
