How to run a Perl script on Windows?
To run a Perl script on Windows, you can follow these steps:
- Download and install the Perl interpreter: You can download the Perl interpreter that suits your system from the official Perl website (https://www.perl.org/get.html). During the installation process, remember to add the installation path of the Perl interpreter to the system environment variables.
- Create a Perl script file: You can use any text editor (such as Notepad++, Sublime Text, etc.) to create a new Perl script file with a .pl file extension.
- Write Perl script: Create your Perl code in a Perl script file.
- Run Perl script: To run a Perl script in Windows Command Prompt or PowerShell, you can use the following command:
perl script.pl
script.pl is the file name of the Perl script file that you created.
Please be advised:
- Make sure you have added the installation path of the Perl interpreter to the system environment variables so that you can run the perl command directly in any directory.
- If you have multiple versions of Perl installed, you can use the full Perl interpreter path to run Perl scripts, for example:
"C:\perl\bin\perl.exe" script.pl
Here, C:\perl\bin\perl.exe is the complete path of the Perl interpreter, and script.pl is the filename of the Perl script file you created.
I hope this can help you!
