Tim, I have loaded up ActivePerl and read the Readme file and run the example.pl script which said it loaded OK. But reading on it said that the extension should be set up. I have checked my Settings > Folder options > file types and there is no PERL or PL extension. I was curious if there was something I needed to set up myself. I have tried adding it and it tells me it exists, but when I run a scipt without the extension from the DOS command line it just said "Bad command or filename".
Never mind......
