Perl Help - How to install modules

I am kind of wondering why for some reason, Perl does not have an interactive mode in its parser
like Pythong does in its. Also, Python comes pre-packaged with a GUI like parser and it is written
in Python\Tk (I think that's what its called). I know that Perl has Perl\Tk, and I know it has
an eval function. Why is there no interactive parser like that. I think I could come up with one.
Anybody, wanna see if we can build a interactive module like the Python one?...

Where do i install perl scripts? I couldn't find the path (usr/bin/perl/) and i tried to put one
script on /home/ /public_html and execute it from a php script, but, nothing happened, the script
was not working, and yes, the script works properly. The reason for not working is the wrong path i
suppose....

so im pretty new to programming in general, but these two languages i am even newer to. I'm
trying to find out if there is a way to compile a perl/python program so that it is encrypted, and
the source could not be read. or are these languages just scripts? Thanks....

I know that Perl is very common for CGI scripts and is used in many web applications. I also know
that Perl can be run from the command-line for basic applications. Anybody ever make desktop
applications in Perl or do most people strictly use Perl for CGI and use C(++) or Visual Basic for
desktop applications. I am curious because I would like to attempt to create a game in Perl and
distribute it. Of course it could only work for people who have Perl installed. Just wondering....

Hi there, I like using Perl for programming. Most of the work I do with it eventually involves
the web. I don't use it in a CGI environment though, I use it as a tier two processing
language. How do you use perl (if at all), or why do you not like perl vs. your preferred
language? Thanks, Kristofer Hoch ----------------- "Not a Perl Biggot"...

I've been thinking for a while about how to authenticate users on my website ... i just wanted
something simple, maybe cookies are good, etc. I found the following -->
http://www.cgi101.com/book/ch20/ Not that I need anything super secure, and maybe it's worth
looking into encrypting the password table in the database, i don't know. it's pretty cool
though ... enjoy....

I don't want to learn PHP right now, and I know MySQL can be used with Perl. However, I do not
know how to use it with Perl at all. I just would like to know how to use it, in a basic script for
any purpose. I have a Perl book, but it only tells me how to use Perl with the Win32::ODBC Module.
Could someone please give me a general description of how to use Perl with MySQL? Thanks in
Advance....
