[HRPM] win perl

[RCT]

hi Jeff
I Think I'm down to text now (sorry)let me know if I'm not

both types of perl downloads were tried before I
asked for help with no luck. The slick install
 http://www.activestate.com. says it fixes the
problems that the other
http://people.netscape.com/kristian/nsPerl/ 
has with the dreaded windows registry but like most
thing Windows it does not work. So again 
what is the trick to get Perl to run on a windows box?
</chris> VMware suggestion is just unimaginative and silly.
This is a laptop with minimal resources and after all
perl is not resource hungry or so I here. This group
was trying to be helpful to the new comer in to programming
and yet no way to start writing a perl script has been yet
brought up. I think way to many things are assumed buy those 
that have been doing it everyday for years
