what is ActivePerl?
is it the same as perl? I want to learn about perl I don`t have a
software. Can someone give me a link? Just the plain perl for DOS.
Anyway what are the differences of perl for windows and perl for DOS.
Perl does run for DOS right?

ActivePerl is the standard Perl compiled for Windows by ActiveState, and
includes some additional standard modules and a packaging system for
additional downloads.
I don`t know whether it runs on DOS. I`ve never owned a machine that could
run either Windows or DOS.

ActivePerl is a distribution of Perl. If you are using Windows,
ActivePerl is your best alternative.

DOS? I did not know anybody used that anymore ;-)
Yes you can run Perl under DOS. You need to compile it though. Read the
following:

Hope it helps.

what is ActivePerl?
Hello all,
I`ve been tasked with writing some kind of server side code to download
a file (a jpg) from the client`s computer to a new printer we`re making.
Is this even possible? I wrote a JavaScript to open a jpg file, convert
it to base 64 and save it as an xml file but... I can`t read a binary
file without losing bits and pieces and I have know idea if this
JavaScript file process will even work like it supposed to.
Do any of you have any idea if I`m barking up the wrong tree here? How
can I automate uploading files from the client`s computer to the server
and then reading them?
Thank you in advance,
Steve
