I have started teaching myself perl. Can I use textpad to write the code for perl, and if so can someone give me some pointers on how to run perl in textpad?

thank you

I just create an external tool called "perl run" which calls strawberry perl with the current buffer as file input. I capture output and prompt for parameters.

Later I've added keyboard shortcuts and a tool to open the command line for running PDL. I also have another tool which calls perldoc and prompts for command input and displays the results in the output buffer. Pretty sweet little setup when you add the syntax highlighting definitions. I really like it.
