okay .. i have just downloaded and installed PERL 5.12 .. and i dont know at all about this let me tell you very frankly ..

i have made one file as "test.pl" and typed this
-----------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Hello World!\n";

-----------------------------------------

and its working fine when i go to CMD and go to this file ..

but i have a question .. its may be a programming languages ..
