In order to run a Perl application in Windows, a Perl-Distribution for Windows is needed. The following article shows the installation and use of Strawberry Perl in Windows.

Installation

The msi-Installer can be downloaded from:

• Strawberry Perl for Windows

or direct:

• Strawberry Perl 5.32.1.1 (64bit)

The following gallery of images will demonstrate the installation process (version 5.16.3.1):

Execute Perl

The following output is based on the example of version 5.24.0.1:

C:\Users\tniedermeier>perl -V
Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 24 subversion 0) configuration:
   
  Platform:
    osname=MSWin32, osvers=6.3, archname=MSWin32-x64-multi-thread
    uname='Win32 strawberry-perl 5.24.0.1 #1 Tue May 10 21:30:49 2016 x64'
[...]

A short test-script checks the execution of Perl:

#!/bin/perl -w
print "Hello World";

C:\Users\tktest\Documents>perl test.pl
