Hi All,
This post explains how to configure perl in Debian based distros.
Open synaptic and search for perl and install it.
Issue this command first:
1. whereis perl
Copy the output of this command as your first bang line for your perl script.
Next perl -v command
This will issue which version of perl is being installed.
Then open gnome-terminal or your console and write this simple perl program. Copy as is.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "hello world";
Name this file as a.perl. In the terminal run this command: perl a.perl
Enjoy,

Hello Ananth. I have some Perl scripts on Ubuntu. Ubuntu is running Apache2. This files doesn't have a file extension like .perl or .pl. First line of each file is #!/usr/bin/perl -wT. I plan to use them in this way: From a browser type IP of Ubuntu machine, followed by name script, something like this http://192.168.10.105/bin/showme. Showme is the name of one of my Perl scripts. My problem is, that browser don't runs my Perl script, only shows its content, just like a text file. Perl, appears correctly installed. Any advice is welcome.
