rhodesa Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 #1 Install Perl (on linux it is probably already installed, on windows just google Active Perl) #2 Run the following to confirm perl is installed (you should get a bunch of info back about perl): perl -v #3 Run the perl script: perl /path/to/the/perlfile.cgi Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/132689-running-a-perl-file-on-a-server-through-cmd/#findComment-690136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mok Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 I thouight perl files were saved with and extension of .pl JandN Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/132689-running-a-perl-file-on-a-server-through-cmd/#findComment-690526 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 The extension doesn't matter. Extensions are technically suggestions. A .exe could technically contain JPEG information for example.

rhodesa Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 true...extension doesn't matter...but for the most part Perl scripts are either a .pl (command line script) or .cgi (web based) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/132689-running-a-perl-file-on-a-server-through-cmd/#findComment-690664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
