Completing Installation
February 14, 2000
Finally, the installer will provide a summary screen as a final
check and ask you if it is okay to begin the installation process.
Clicking next will begin the installation process. Just wait
while theinstaller does its work.
After the installation is complete, and you have/have not read
the release notes, start a command prompt (DOS Shell) window. If
typing "perl -v" prints out a message containing version
information about your installation of Perl, then the installation
process is successfully complete.
Now what?
If you are a new Perl developer, you can get an excellent
introduction to standard cross-platform Perl programming at
The
Introduction to Web Programming Tutorial, and at
The
Introduction to Perl 5 Tutorial.
Otherwise, here is a quick demonstration of a very simple perl program
written using Notepad and run from the DOS Shell.
