You're probably either going to need to pick up a book on perl or read through the documentation and tutorials on perldoc.com. O'Reilly's Learning Perl is a great book for beginners. Programming Perl is even better -- but it assumes a lot of experience programming and doesn't waste time with anything. > I don't know where to write the Perl code... > it may sound weird, but it's true.. Perl code takes the form of a text file. If you're under windows you'll name your perl files with the .pm extension. If you're under unix you put the following line as the first line of your perl file: #! /usr/bin/perl Of course, perl may be somewhere else then /usr/bin. Check with your sysadmin. > I've got something called : "Perl Package manager", in > activestate activeperl 5.6 That's something different. > I don't know what to say but i need someone to tell me > from where to start... You need a text editor. Check out GNU Emacs: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html -Dan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
