You could also go to tucows.com and download OptiPerl (hardcore guys,
stop frowning ;).
It's an editor for perl with an build in debugger and webbrowser, so all
You do is write the proggy, press run, and You got easy output.
If You have installed the Activestate binaries, before OptiPerl,
every
EditPlus for Windoze really kicks ass. I love it --> it's got syn
highlighting and
type-ahead macros (at a shareware price.)

p.s. (no, I *didn't* write this app.)

I hate to say it since you just bought a book, but you might find that
you'll have more luck with a book that is more focused on Perl in general.
If that is the book that I am thinking of, it has more to do with how to
apply knowledge of Perl to a Win32 environment. Everyone has their
favorite,

There's a great list of editors with reviews at http://pureperl.org/edit

Thomas,
Any editor (I use notepad, WinVim, and anything else available - later
you may find reason to look for a 'better' editor and there is always plenty
of opinion available about editors).
With windows, you can set a file extension association by clicking in My
Computer, View, Options.
You need to install Perl (if you haven't). If you're on Windows, and have
never programmed before, hopefully, you have downloaded Activestate's
binaries, - they have an MSI to install everything.
If you install using Activestate's MSI file, .pl will already be associated
with the perl.exe program
