Hey Cory,
Let go from the top...
Perl is installed...
Perl is in your PATH...
Your script 'example.pl' is in the directory C:\>...
You get the error 'No such file or directory' when you type
C:\>perl example.pl
Is this all correct?
My initial guess would be that you are in a different directory than where
example.pl is saved. If this is the case, change to that directory and try it again.
For the 'print ("Hello\n")', try:
perl -e "print qq~Hello\n~"
If it does print hello, you know that Perl is working...

Subject: Still Can't get perl to work on Win2K Pro PC
when I type perl example.pl at the C:\>command prompt I get this message: cannot
open perl script "example.pl": No such file or directory. When I go to the folder that
example.pl is located and double click on it opens for about 1/4 of a second that
automatically closes.
when I type PATH at the C:\> command prompt I get
PATH=D:\Perl\bin\; I still can't even run a simple print ("Hello\n");
from the C:\>command prompt. where is what I type
#!D:\Perl\bin\;
print ("Hello\n");
then I press enter and nothing happens but a carriage return
