run Perl under windows

Thanks Paul and Henry.
What I like to do is that from a Windows XP to connect to Unix and
router via
tcp/ip (telnet)and control the unix and the router(send some commands
to both of them).
What packages do i need to install and how to do it?

Thanks in adavance,

Steven

Without Perl, there is no difficulties to join unix through telnet.
Did you had a look at Net::Telnet? (not tested)

Who are Paul and Henry and why are you thanking them?

If you have a cisco router, then Net::Telnet:::Cisco could be useful for
you.

If not, then you can just use Net::Telnet, use ppm to install (see your
ActiveState Perl documentation for more details)
