Dear Sir,
Neither could I find/see any significant differences
in Windows 95. My problem is simple, if perl.exe
resides in c:\perl\bin (the path in AUTOEXEC.BAT),
1. Why I can't run the scripts from any folder (as the
book and everyone say)?
for e.g. c:\folder>perl cgi.pl
2.I can only run my scripts like this :
c:\perl\bin>perl c:\folder\cgi.pl
Kindly explain to me even if it's rather a silly que.
Thanks again for your attention.
Rgds,
