The simplest way would be to open a dos window and pass the perl executable with the prog. as argument.
If Perl.exe is in C:\perl_local\bin and the program say foo.pl is saved in d:\examples\foo.pl then give this command
C:\perl_local\bin\perl d:\examples\foo.pl
The directories will vary according to where you are
Hope this helps.
Thanx Mark

I am having trouble getting Windows 98 to associate a .pl file with
perl.exe. I have already been to the ActiveState.com website and followed
the instructions for making sure that I have these file associations set up
correctly. I've verified that the perl.exe is in the correct directory. As
far as I can tell, I have done everything exactly the right way. (Yes, I've
installed ActivePerl on my box already.)
What happens is when I try to execute my .pl file, instead of executing it
opens a file download window. Does anyone know what would cause Windows 98
to not associate a .pl file with perl.exe? Or, do you have any other idea as
to why this is happening? I would surely appreciate the help. Thanks. :-)
