I would like to use Notepad++ as an interactive development environment for writing Perl scripts. I tried the following command in the Run Menu.
Perl -w "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" However, instead of producing the expected output it produce a graphical view of the directories and files in the C:\ folder. This is when using Windows XP. Is what I would like to do feasible? If it is what have others done to use Notepad++ as an interactive development environment for writing Perl scripts when using Windows XP?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I fixed my problem. It ended up I had the same problem as people writing console mode programs had with earlier versions of Microsoft's Visual Studio. When you ran a console mode program from within Visual Studio the program's output would only be displayed for a brief interval. The same thing was happening when using the "RUN" menu within Notepad++ to run a Perl script. To fix the problem I added the following two lines at the end of my script.
print ( " control d to quit" );
$answer=<STDIN>;
