Howdy,
Crawling out of my microsoft-induced haze, I'm setting up MySQL and Perl on
windows 2003. (baby steps :) I have some trouble I think is related to
semantics.
My understanding is Perl is the framework or language, and a perl script is
a program. (Yes, I know there is a difference between a script and a
program. I just painting with broad strokes here.)
My questions is, what is the difference between a 'perl script' and
'PerlScript'?
I'm looking for server side execution requiring nothing from the client
beyond a web browser, which I think means Perl. On the other hand
PerlScript is executed on the client, and on windows requires something like
ActivePerl, right? Am I even close?
Please, don't make me go back to vb!
TIA,
Sean G.
