Hi, thanks for your reply.? My problem seems to be different now.? I have a cpan prompt I cant seem to get rid of. I attached a screenshot. I looked for introductory tutorials on how to change directory and run programs, but cant find any. Can you direct me to a tutorial that says "here's how you change directory.? Here's how you run and debug your "hello world" program" I appreciate it.
