How do I find a site from where I can download (simply) Perl?

I need to find a site that I can download Perl (software that runs and executes Perl scripts).





I downloaded of http://www.perl.com/download.csp and I had to extract a lot of stuff. At the end I couldn't find the setup file.





Really confused.





Thanks.

Usually, for Perl, there isn't a setup file. You simply download and extract the files to a directory. While in that directory, try writing a script and then executing it. You will need to do this from a command line though. Perl is not a compiler - it does not take code and make it into an EXE (executable) file; rather, it is an interpretter, that reads the code and executes it on the fly.





Also, check out the link below for information on setting it up in Windows





Hope this helps!
