HELP! Using Perl in Windows? How do I open the POD?
I've no idea what a pod is.





1) Start notepad.


2) Copy and paste the above into notepad.


3) Comment out the top line.


4) Save it e.g. as wtfdoespodmean.pl


5) Start a command window and type 'perl wftdoespodmean.pl'.

Reply:You have entered the path of the Perl interpreter as:-





#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w





which looks like the path of a Linux/Unix OS.





Check that the path exists on Windows, if not then change the path or it will not work.
