I'm not sure if this forum covers PERL issues but here I go:
I'm trying to run a PERL script from Notepadd++. I've entered the path of the script from the run command but it is only opening a blank window. Is there anything else that needs to be done when using the 'RUN' feature of Notepad++?
"UNIX desktop for dummies" is the wrong place for it as you are not using a UNIX desktop. Notepad++ is a Windows program. Moving the thread.
In Notepad++, keep the perl programs' tab in focus and press F5. The run dialog of Notepad++ will open. Enter perl $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) and click on "Run".
