The Perl Dev Kit includes numerous example programs to help you get started.
The examples are installed, by default, in C:\Program Files\ActiveState Perl
Dev Kit 7.x\Samples. Each example has its own subdirectory. Some of the
examples include README files in the sample subdirectories.
To use the examples written in VBScript (.vbs files), you must install the
Windows Scripting Host (WSH).
Additional WSH information can be found at:
