Will do. Thanks Paul.

Yea! I got it to work! I saved as "Unicode big endian" rather than "Unicode". I don't know what the difference between these two formats are but it is working now. Thanks for all of the help everyone!

I think that I am getting close. I have been selecting "all files" instead of .txt when saving notepad files. I am also saving in Unicode. I get the following error message: panic: utf16_to_utf8: odd bytelen 47 at C:\Perl\myperl\example3.pl line1. What does this error message mean? And...

Okay, I can see that I need to remove the .txt from the end of the file names because with it, the files are not run; rather, the files are opened. So, I am sorry to be asking such rudimentary questions but how do I change the settings such that .txt is no longer automatically added to the end...

Ishnid, I followed your instructions and yes, they do have .txt following .pl What do you think that should I do to determine if this is the problem and how might I fix it? Thanks.

I want to isolate the problem. Can I type simple programs directly into perl and thereby bypass the file finding step? Can I download a simple to use an online text editor that is quite robust or open programs directly from the web and use an online text editor exclusively? Thanks!

Yes, I have tried both notepad and word. Thanks.

Thanks Paul. That makes sense but my simple programs are not running even when I specify the path. The example program that downloaded with Activeperl does run, though. So, I am wondering if I am having a text editing problem. Is there a simple way be sure that my files are not only...

Well, I am beginning to better understand how my computer works but it still isn't working. I created a new file and named it myperl. I placed it in the perl folder. The path is: C:\perl\myperl When I try to open example2.pl (see above) I still get the following message: 'example2 is not...

I tried it. I copied the program from the above post and pasted it into an open notepad page. I saved the page as: example2 When I tired to open it with Perl, I got the following response: 'example2'is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file...

I will try that. Does it matter where I save it? Thanks.

By the way. I wrote my program with word, saved it with Unicode encoding and saved the file to my desk top.

Hi, I am new to programing. I hope that I have found the right place. I have installed Activeperl and I can run the sample program but I can not run any of my own programs. My first question is, does it matter where on C: I save my programs? Thank You!
