Forgive me this newbie question.
After installing ActivePerl for Windows. I try to understand the command perl configure .... with the command perldoc perl. But didn't found anything about configure option. I also try the command perldoc perl configure. But It doesn't work. Shows No documentation found for "configure".

From http://community.activestate.com/node/7573 it looks to me like the Configure being talked about is a script included with and used to build the OpenSSL source; it is not part of perl or the perl distribution.
Though the perl source does include a Configure script, that is a shell script used to build perl itself, and nothing to do with the Configure you are looking for.
I don't know what the configure.pl you see is, but it is also likely not what you are looking for.

I am new to Perl. I have created a Perl module(.pm). I am trying to make it executable. I wanna know is it possible to make Perl module executable or I am going wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Are you asking how to compile Perl code into machine instructions? There is no such tool. While Perl is compiled, it's compiled into high-level opcodes which require an interpreter to evaluate.

I am trying to run perl script which contain use CM, use CM_USER and use CM_METRICS statement and I am getting error "Can't locate CM.pm in #INC". I have also tried to install these using CPAN but it also giving me error "cannot install".
You won't be able to install them from CPAN because they don't look like they are on CPAN.
Where did you get this program from? You'll need to ask the author where you can get the modules from.

I have already given permission to execute my perl file to group and others(using chmod 711) but what command line I should give them to execute my file.
can someone please help me with this.?
Thank you.
When someone start such a file, it will actually be read by the perl interpreter program, which means that it must allow read access as well.
Suppose your file is called 'myfile.pl', you can then always start it with
perl /path/to/myfile.pl
In that case you start the perl interpreter and tell it to read commands from your file.
If your file is readable and executable, and starts with a line like
#!/usr/bin/perl
or
#!/usr/bin/env perl
then you can start it with
/path/to/myfile.pl
which, in case the file is in the current directory can be as short as
./myfile.pl

You can only execute client side code if the browser can pass that code off to a suitable interpretor or compiler.
The only Perl engine supported by browsers was ActiveState's PerlScript which was IE/Windows only, required a plug-in to be installed, and (as far as I know) has been discontinued.
In short: You can't use Perl client side because browser vendors haven't done the work needed to support Perl.
Well, Perl is just not embedded into web browser, so there's no way to get a Perl script on client side for that very simple reason...

I need to write a script that writes (appends) data to an internal wiki that isn't public (needs username and password but unencrypted, http not https). The script can be a shell script, a Perl script, or even a Java application (last resort). Any help would be appreciated. Let me know if any additional information is needed.
Right now, I'm only able to read from the wiki using LWP Perl library using the getprint($url) function.
Thanks
