[ale] running perl script

[John Wells]

Elanchezian,

If you're running on unix, it's easy.

On the first line of your script, put a "#!" and the path to your perl
executable.  If your perl executable is at /usr/bin/perl, this would look
like:

#!/usr/bin/perl

Then, you can run the script (after making it executable with "chmod 755
script" or equivalent) like:

./myscriptname.pl

This can work on Windows as well, with a bit more configuration. Can't
help you there.  Check out http://www.perlmonks.org for that sort of info.
