Installing ActivePerl on Windows

This section provides a tutorial example on installing ActivePerl latest version on a Windows system.

Before doing any tests with Perl, I want to upgrade my Perl installation to the latest version ActivePerl on my Windows system.

1. Rename the current Perl directory from C:\Perl to C:\Perl_bck

2. Go to ActivePerl Website at http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/.

3. Click "Download Now" button. I see the download page.

4. Click "Windows Installer (EXE)" link next to 5.26.1.2601 version, to start the download. ActivePerl-5.26.1.2601-MSWin32-x64-404865

5. Double click on the downloaded file: ActivePerl-5.26.1.2601-MSWin32-x64-404865.exe, and follow the installation tool to install ActivePerl to your system at \Perl64.

6. Open a command window, and type in "perl -v". If you see the following output, your installation is ok.

herong> perl -v

This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 1 (v5.26.1) built
for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)
