how to run perl

Post by drefty »

This is covered in the TextPad help under

"How to Run Other Programs"

To find it, open textpad help and type in the phrase you
see above. Include the quotes.

Once you have assigned an external program to run from tools,
just say 'view toolbar' from the view menu.

Your configuration will look something like:

command = c:\perl\bin\perl.exe
parameters = $file

or something else, depending on how your system is set up and what
you want to run.
