IT WORKED! I am so happy! Thank you and thanks to everyone who were so kind to help me! I didn't know %PATH% wanted only folders! I removed the perl.exe ending and when I ran `perl -v` in the CMD I got this: `Copyright 1987-2012, Larry Wall Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License + or the GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5 source ki +t.

Thank you soo much everyone!	[reply] [d/l] [select]
