Perl distribution is available for a wide variety of platforms. You need to download only the binary code applicable for your platform and install Perl.If the binary code for your platform is not available, you need a C compiler to compile the source code manually. Compiling the source code offers more flexibility in terms of the choice of features that you require in your installation.Here are the steps to install Perl on the Windows machine.Follow the link for the Strawberry Perl installation on Windows http://strawberryperl.com.Download either 32bit or 64bit version of the installation.Run the downloaded file by double-clicking it in ...

Perl is an interpreted language, which means that your code can be run as-is, without a compilation stage that creates a non-portable executable program.Traditional compilers convert programs into machine language. When you run a Perl program, it's first compiled into a byte code, which is then converted ( as the program runs) into machine instructions. So it is not quite the same as shells, or Tcl, which are strictly interpreted without an intermediate representation.It is also not like most versions of C or C++, which are compiled directly into a machine-dependent format. It is somewhere in between, along with Python ... Read More
