I am new to xampp, and also, I am new to Perl programming. I just tried to open the file C:\xampp\cgi-bin\printenv.pl and I made a mistake.
I chose the default program to open that file extension as Notepad, with the option always use the selected program to open this kind of file.
Now when I try to run .pl files from cmd it opens them in Notepad instead of executing. Please reply. Thanks in advance.
