Twinkles, etal
I'm another newbie jumping in.
I went to the referenced URL:
http://www.perl.com/pub/language/info/software.html
I didn't see anything about MSI, I jumped to the Win32 section. That tries
to send you to ActiveStates ActivePerl, which when I tried it wouldn't go
anywhere. I went to ActiveStates and the link there to ActivePerl also came
up as a bad URL.
Another question: If I use Perl from my Win98 machine to write progs, and
then d/l them to the sever I use for websites, is there a (good) chance the
prog will not work?
