Command Prompt

Hi,

I'm trying to run a perl script (for the first time) from the command prompt on Win XP but I can't get the C:\>prompt. I can only get C:\Documents and Settings\my name>

How do I change it to the C:\> prompt?????

Thanks

Simon.

cd \

Thanks for your help. So simple when you know what your doing.

I just installed Apache and ActivePerl 5.6.1 and have been trying to follow the steps here -

http://www.mattjacob.org/server/index.html

But I can't get the "Testing the Perl Installation" part to work on the second page - Installing the Perl Package. I have used all the recommended paths and directory names (e.g Apache is installed in H:\Apache\Apache2\ and Perl is intalled in H:\usr\).

I created the hello.pl file like it says and saved it to my C:\ directory but when I go to the command prompt and type - perl hello.pl at the C:\> prompt and hit enter, I get an error message saying "perl is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

Also, I can't get the H drive to show up at the prompt at all.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

Simon.

You may have to modify your paths to match what your system have. The instructions may point to H: drive, but if you setup everything on C:, then you have to go back and change all the H: to C:
