Perl programming language is distributed by default in most Linux distributions and also in all Mac OS X versions up to now. However, Windows users need to install it by themselves.

Below some screenshots and hints for starting to use Perl in Windows.

The easiest way to access to terminal in Windows is by typing its name. Of course, you can decide to make a shortcut link for future uses.

Simple Windows Terminal commands

Commands are not the same as in UNIX (Linux & Mac OS X) systems and they are fewer of them.

  • cd (change current directory)
