In addition to this list I aways recommend that questions be
asked on <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.perlmonks.org">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>

because you are telling what you have (win8) to treat the

the command line open, I type "perl <a

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
