Perl Interpreter

[Ferg]

Lo guys... i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get a perl interpreter for windows.

I want to run some perl scripts i've got on my linux box at college on the windows 98 pc's, but due to their security settings, i can't install anything. So ideally i'm looking for a simple program that i can use to execute perl scripts from dos or similar :)
Ta for your help guys :)

Get linux on a floppy and boot from that. Dunno if you can fit linux AND Perl on a floppy disk but you never know...

the college pc's have the bios passworded so you can't boot from floppy :|

I'm afraid you're not about to get Perl on a floppy anyway :/

But, you can get Perl for Win32! (And about every other modern platform in existance.) Whether you'll be able/allowed to install it might be another matter, of course.

I recommend you look at ActivePerl, from:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/

You may need to download the Windows installer too, but it tells you all about that on their website. There are other Perls for Win32 too, follow the link from http://www.perl.org/ if you're interested.

Have fun.
