ActivePerl? What version of UNIX are you using? Use the command "uname -a" if you don't know what version you are using.

I am running ActivePerl on Windoz XP Pro... not Unix.

Might be a 'quote' problem. Best thing to do is to put the code into a file. For example call it 'process.pl'

Code:
while($line=<>)
{
  printf ("%.3f\n",($line/1000));
}

And the from your XP command line do:

Code:
perl process.pl inputfile.txt > outputfile.txt
