    Windows XP and perl

    I looked at perl.com and tried to install the perl for windows. Neither of
    the Win98 nor the NT version worked... Is there support under XP?

      Amy G -

      I had some problems with getting Perl to run under XP as well. I used
      the download from ActiveState at
      http://www.activestate.com/Products/...?id=ActivePerl.
      But the part I missed the first time around was adding to perl to my
      path variable. Right-click on My Computer, and choose Properties.
      You'll have to make your way through Advanced, Environment Variables,
      and System Variables to get to the Path statement. Add c:\perl\bin
      (or whatever is appropriate for your installation) and you should be
      okay.

      Good luck.

      Sincerely,

      Mike Simone

          Both the Win98 download and the NT download give me an error message:

          "Wrong OS or OS version for application."

          Any ideas?
