( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Recently, (and unfortunately) I upgraded to ActivePerl 5.6.1 build 631 on Win2k. It seems that ever since then, I get an error message when I try and run ANY old perl script, even a basic hello world. Scripts do actually run, but windoze complains and puts up an annoying dialogue like this:

"Cannot find the file hello.pl (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available."

It's acting like perl can't locate the path to perl.exe, or the file association is incorrect, etc., even though I've checked the PATH environment variable, the file association looks ok, the script is in the correct place, etc. I've tried ActivePerl uninstall/reinstall with no help. Interestingly, I can type "perl hello.pl" and everything works fine.

@INC is set to C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib

Has anyone else seen this before? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
