About this task
CAUTION:
Do not perform this procedure on a Contenta Administrator client machine that also runs XPP version 9.2 or earlier.
Note: The following steps describe the process of associating .pl files with Strawberry Perl on Microsoft Windows 10. The process for doing so on other versions of Windows may vary.
Results
Files with the
.pl extension are associated with Strawberry Perl by default and users will not need to specify the full path to Strawberry Perl when calling Perl scripts from the command line. Instead, only the word
perl must be included on the command line before the utility name, as in the following example of a call to the
dbcopy.pl utility.
..\app\XyEnterprise\Contenta\bin>perl dbcopy.pl bike41
Note: A call to a Perl utility without the word perl before the utility name fails with a syntax error.
