Can I program Perl with Visual C++ 6.0? COs I can't find perl program in the File>New>Files. Is there a way to add it?

If Perl cannot be programmed and compiled in Visual C++ 6.0, which program/scripter and compiler do you recommend for Perl?

I'm using Windows Me(with active perl 5+ installed).

Thank you.

Perl is a scripting language, that means there is no need to compile it. So just write the code in any raw text editor (such as Notepad or Wordpad), then save it as file.cgi or file.pl, and run it.
To run it either run it from command prompt by typing "perl <file>" or from your web server.
