<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><span face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">I'm curious: Is there a particular reason why you are using ActiveState Perl instead of Strawberry?<br /> <br /> In addition to this list I aways recommend that questions be asked on <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.perlmonks.org" target="_blank">www.perlmonks.org</a> as well. The site looks like it's straight out of the nineties, but it is actually tremendously useful. They have a few resident Perl-On-Windows gurus too.<br /> <br /> --Tommy Butler<br /> <br /> On 01/10/2014 02:05 PM, <a class="parsedEmailmoz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:rickazevedo2@lycos.com" target="_blank">rickazevedo2@lycos.com</a> wrote:<br /> </span></div>

<p dir="ltr"><span face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Well poo. Getting the version worked on Wednesday night.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">No, because you are telling what you have (win8) to treat the program as if it was running on XP. Or to actually be backward compatible for this one program. Because win8 doesn't look back. Like a shark it has no neck.<br /> (Futurama joke)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Try right clicking on the Perl.exe executable, select properties, compatibility tab, XP Service Pack 3 mode. Hmmmmmm.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Let's recheck: run "Perl -v" and see if it still gives you the version number and the paragraph of text.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">That should still work. If it doesn't then something is different since wed night. May need to apply the XP Compatibility mode setting to the Perl.exe file under c:\strawberry since win8 makes life hard just because it seems.</span></p>

<div><span face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">With the command line open, I type "perl <a href="http://helloworld.pl" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">helloworld.pl</a>" (the name of the file) and hit enter. It gives me the "0xc000007" error message, refusing to execute the program. I looked up answers online and a lot of them are "reboot the machine" "try reinstalling" etc. I rebooted and it didn't fix anything. A registry-fixer was recommended but I decided to uninstall it after installing. It would be nice to have some help. Thank you. Rick Azevedo</span></div>
