I just tried it, and it does not work for me either. I too run on win2k. I have always just put the code in a file or a module and executed it that way. At least if you save them you will have a record of your progress.

I have tried numerous variations of this simple script: print ("hello\n"); perl -e "print qq~Hello\n~" C:\> perl print "Hello\n"; then press 'controll Z' print "hello"; and press 'control C' Nothing works. I can run a pre written script, but that is it. I have the camel book and none of the sample scripts will run. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
