Huh, never heard of that. It seems pretty cool though. Also, OP, I don't mean to nit-pick, but Perl is an interpreted language, not a compiled language, so you would want a Perl interpreter. However, it is possible to compile Perl code into a standalone executable.

Dude you are going to have to help me out, never programmed in perl, but I am seeing examples, just none giving an interpreter, I am asking what I use, so a text editor would work I will give that a try

Assuming you have a perl interpreter installed, write some perl code in any text editor you want, save it as a *.pl file, then in the command prompt/terminal type:
perl /path/to/perlfile.pl

Zenrith, dude. No need to be so pissed off over that.
OP, I recommend perl monks http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=Tutorials and programming tutorial's perl page, at

You still haven't told us which interpreter did you use, I just realized that. And have you tried compiling it from the command prompt as I had suggested?

Here.. I took the time and recorded a video on how to make and run a simple perl scblockedript. I used fedora 11, so you will need to slightly change things around for windows... Hopefully you can manage?

Also have a extra video for how to use a variable....

Unless, guys, there is some *actual* problem...
Nahh.
Good point, maybe he will learn a tiny bit about vi then? (Or seeing that in the video will confuse the hell out of him.)
