    Perl - Main Shop Autobuyer is not an autobuyer, but the code in perl! It would be nice if that was said in the description! I just wasted 75 points on it!

    Perl - Main Shop Autobuyer
    This autobuyer (written in perl) is not as good as the main one, as it's slightly slower and doesn't have a GUI. However it's a great code example if you are learning perl.


    its in the description of it.

    Actually the description is misleading if it says that it has a autobuyer and it actually doesn't. I can't confirm this but maybe someone else can.

    EDIT:Yea it was your fault after all.

    Perl doesn't get compiled into an exe, it is compiled when it is ran. You have downloaded the autobuyer but obviously it won't run until you've installed activeperl. Try reading the sticky topic in the 'neopets programs' section. It's called READ THIS BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD ANY PROGRAMS! I wrote it in capitals because I thought people might pay more attention to it, but apparently not.

    Make sure you read the second sticky about PERL if it's not working, there is a bit of code to change around, if you haven't already.

    That reminds me to never buy that from download section since I don't even know what perl is.
