perl test.pl

Ok, since i have the perl compiler in my machine, if i install the php again, will it be any conflict?

...what?

You can have both PHP and Perl installed simultaneously...

Also, the reason for your problem is this:

In Linux, we do not have file associations that apply systemwide. Your file manager may have them, but the commandline does not.

Therefore, to run a Perl file, you need to specify what you're running with. There are two ways to do this:

1) Declare the interpreter on the commandline. That is:

perl foo.pl

2) Use the sh-bang line of the file to declare an interpreter. This is the first line of the file, and is done as follows:

#!/usr/bin/perl
<rest of file>

Also, because we don't use file associations, you don't need to end your Perl scripts with ".pl". You can have a file just called "foo", and as long as it is called with "perl" or has a sh-bang line, you'll be fine.

I have perl installed and i am able to ping my localhost, but why i type http://localhost at my browser it give me an error of :

“localhost” refused the connection.

The server may be busy or you may have a network connection problem. Try again later.

There may be an old version of the page you wanted:


* in the Google Cache

* in the Internet Archive

I dun have my PHP installed, in that case what the localhost refering to?

Do you have a webserver such as Apache setup? If you do, give http://127.0.0.1 a try.
