Write a program, using any text editor you like. Note I said "TEXT"
editor. That eliminates things like Word and WordPerfect. If you have
nothing else, notepad will do in a crunch. I would suggest downloading
either edit plus (http://www.editplus.com) or Emacs (google for it).

Once your program is written and saved, open up a command window
(Start->Run->"cmd"), change to the directory at which you saved your
script, and type `perl` followed by the name of your program.

If you installed the ActiveState distribution of Perl, you have access
to all the documenatation at Start->Programs->Active State Active
Perl->Documentation
