[R] Installing Perl For Use in R

[Philip]

I’m getting nowhere with this.  From the website below  I clicked on the ActivePerl 5.26 button which seems to lead me into creating projects on the Cloud rather than downloading the software to my hard drive.

    https://www.activestate.com/products/perl/downloads/

Can someone give me some advise?  What the website is trying to do seems rather shady.

Thanks,
Philip
