Step 2. Create association of Perl Dev Kit with PERLTRAY files

If, despite the installed application, the PERLTRAY file does not start in the Perl Dev Kit application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PERLTRAY file with the Perl Dev Kit program.

If, despite the association of the Perl Dev Kit program with the Perl Dev Kit PerlTray Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ActiveState Software website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PERLTRAY file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The PERLTRAY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PERLTRAY file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PERLTRAY or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PERLTRAY file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PERLTRAY file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PERLTRAY file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PERLTRAY files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the PERLTRAY file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PERLTRAY file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
