You can run your scripts directly from the command line:
Start -> Run
The "Run" dialog box opens. Type "cmd" or "cmd.exe" (without the quotes)
This opens a command prompt session.
To run your perl script, browse to its location and type:
perl script_name
where script_name is the actual name of your script, including its extension (which is typically .pl but I tried it on a .txt file created with notepad and it worked).
If you don't want to browse to the location of the script, just type:
perl full_path_to_your_script
Hope this helps
