Mok Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I have installed perl in my C: drive, and I try to save a txt document as a .pl file but it doesn't save it. I tried saving it in the Bin folder. I also tried in my documents. Can someone please help, This is for work I need done. Thank is advance, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effigy Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 It doesn't save at all, or perhaps it adds a .txt extension? What messages/errors do you recieve? Do you have permission to use the directory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardRotterdam Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 how are you trying to run your pl file(assuming it has a .pl extention) are you trying to run it from your localhost calling it on your webbrowser or run it in a terminal/cmd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mok Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 The file just doesn’t save at all, I am not sure if I have Perl installed properly, I installed active perl by just going through the setup, is there anything else I need to do? I am running the script on my computer through CMD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effigy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Perl's installation should have no effect on an editor saving a file. How are you running the script if it doesn't save? What editor are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mok Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 I make the code in notepad then save as a .pl file, but it just deson't save. Mok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Do you have permissions to write it in the folder where you're trying to write it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
