Perl interpreter for Windows

[calbear2000]

I downloaded and installed active perl, but I hate running perl scripts and commands from a DOS window.

Do people use another setup/interpreter? If not, how can you stand DOS? (assuming you know how nice a clean simple Unix shell feels like )

what is wrong with the command window?

Are you just complaining? What do you want people to tell you? Here's a solution: run your perl scripts in linux.

 

[kevman]

OP you try cygwin ? you can even setup crontabs and what not...its an excellent tool.
