There is no default IDE for Perl. You can use any text editor. Use
notepad if you wish. I recommend EditPlus, found at
http://www.editplus.com. Then when you've written your code, save it
to the hard drive. Open a command window (Start->Run-> cmd) and
navigate to the directory in which you saved your file. Then type the
name of the file. If ActiveState set up your file associations
correctly, your program will run. If not, type `perl ` followed by
your file name.
