Welcome
Welcome to ActivePerl, the most complete perl package available for the
Win32 platform. ActivePerl contains Perl
for Win32, PerlScript, Perl
for ISAPI, PerlEZ, the Perl
Package Manager (for installing packages of CPAN modules), and complete
online help.
Online Help Contents
ActivePerl Docs
- ActivePerl Readme
- Contains up to the minute release information about ActivePerl.
- ActivePerl Release Notes
- Version histories, what's changed in perl since the early stages
of the 500 series of ActivePerl, and what's changed since the
300 series of Perl for Win32.
- ActivePerl Install Notes
- Installation notes.
- ActivePerl Directory Structure
- The ActivePerl directory structure has been simplified to resemble
previous versions of Perl for Win32. This document also contains
instructions on how to set up the /site directory to suit special
types of installations.
- Installing Modules
- Want to install a module such as Tk or GD? Need libnet so you can
use ActivePerl to check your email? Here's how it's done.
- PPM and Firewalls
- Are you having trouble installing modules from behind a firewall
through a proxy? This document shows how. It also tells how to
download packages directly via HTTP to store them in a local
repository, so you can use them on a machine with no internet
connection, or on networked machines without having to download
the modules for each install.
Perl Documentation
- Perl for Win32 FAQ
- This series of documents contains Frequently Asked Questions that
many Perl users have, and their answers. This FAQ is specifically
written for Perl for Win32, and covers everything from how to install
perl to how to set up perl on your webserver to help on Perl modules
and examples.
- Core Perl FAQ
- This is the original Frequently Asked Questions document that comes
with core perl.
- Perl Documentation
- This is the exhaustive (i.e., huge) documentation
that comes with Perl, and is the official language reference
for the Perl language.
- Module Documentation
- ActivePerl comes with complete documentation for all of the modules
available. This section of the table of contents on the left shows
the modules available and currently installed in your ActivePerl
installation. Site specific libraries are included in this listing.
Note: as you install modules with PPM,
the help automatically gets updated and the new libraries are
added to this index.
