[Xitami] Perl in a MSDOS box

[Warren R. Taylor]

Thanks for the advice. I can get it to work running perl from the Start Menu as
you suggest. Can't get a DOS box to do the same yet even though the shortcut runs
the same "c:\windows\command.com" program. Think I'll take a look at the PIF
parameters for this...but I can now check out my scripts using the perl syntax
checker...
Thanks again.
