Hello Teresa,

After I download p500503, how do I install it onto my computer so I can
start learning Perl?
I have Windows 98.

This list is about the development of Perl and not for questions about
using Perl.

You are expected to extract and compile the source code in the p500503
archive. I suspect you might prefer to run a precompiled binary version.
You can find one at the ActiveState web site​:

  http​://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl/

Don't forget to read the installation notes and readme files​:

  http​://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl/docs/Perl-Win32/install.htm

  http​://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl/docs/Perl-Win32/readme.htm

After you have installed the package you'll find a whole bunch of
documentation under "Start > Programs > ActivePerl > Online
Documentation", including the FAQs and the Win32 specific FAQs.

You might also want to consider buying a book like "Learning Perl on Win32
Systems" if you have no experience with Perl at all yet​:

  http​://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lperlwin/

There are a couple of Win32 specific mailing lists​:

Make sure you read the charters first​:
