in reply to Strawberry Perl NOT running properly

I type perldoc –v perldoc The system then responds with:’perldoc’ does not look like a Perl variable
That is the correct response. You've asked perldoc to give you information about a variable (-v) called perldoc, and it's telling you that perl doesn't have a built-in variable of that name.

    ...but I just checked, and the meaning of the -v flag changed between version 5.10.0 and 5.12.0, which probably explains why the book suggested that syntax,
