1) Re-install ActiveState perl.
2) Post to comp.lang.perl.misc, not this newsgroup (it is defunct).

I've never tried forwarding with an ng; a bit of a test. Discourages
prolixity: a good thing. I'll do a careful re-installation of activestate.

Responding to myself, sort of. The install doesn't go off without errors.
These might be peculiar to the 21 day trial version. I removed the former
installation, rebooted and re-installed, and it found my last version of
"hello world." I seem to be in the same place.

Now I'm definitely responding to myself. The link with the screendumps

Your problem is with the Komodo IDE. Maybe the Komodo installer doesn't
include ActivePerl and you need to separately install ActivePerl?



If you open a Command Prompt and type `perl -v` what exact message do
you get?

If it gives you some version information, type
`perl -e "print qw(Hello World\n)"
What message do you get?


Have you read the "Software Prerequisites on Windows" section in
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/Komodo/4.0/readme.html

Thanks for your reply. The above screenshot shows me still slightly short
of square one.

I'll get on it now.

`perl -e "print qw(Hello World\n)"

^^ ^^
^^ ^^

ITYM "qq" instead of "qw".

 

[Wade Ward]

Oops yes, thanks for the correction.

'perl' is not recognized as a command.

Download and install ActivePerl.

I installed ActivePerl in c:\perl\ and found perl.exe in c:\perl\bin\. I
changed komodo so that the command line finds perl.exe and do, at long last,
have hello world. I really appreciate your help
