Brand New Perl Beginner - trouble using activePerl

Hey )))

I am learning perl now for use with CGI.

I installed active Perl on both windows Millenium AND windows XP systems.

Both of the fail to run a .pl file.  I see a window flash on the screen for
a part of a second and then disappear.....the window looks like it is a DOS
command window.

Anyway, I do not see the program run.  Of course I am doing something very
basic wrong....anyone know what it is???  Thanks !!!
