Hi I'm trying to learn scripting using Perl, but I'm having a rough start. I'm just trying a "hello world" first example, but I can't seem to get anything. I'm using Strawberry Perl, and here is the syntax I have saved in a notepad titled 'hello.pl':
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "hello world\n";
When trying to launch the script through dos using: 'perl hello.pl' I get the following response:
"Can't open perl script "hello.pl": No such file or directory"
I have the file on my desktop, and changed directories in dos to my desktop, and still have nothing.
Any ideas?
Got it to work, notepad was saving the script as hello.txt.pl
ERRRRGGHH!
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "hello world\n";
