in reply to Strange problem with Windows 7 command line and perl

Hi all

I tried rebooting but that doesn't help. I still have the same problem, though as Marto correctly stated, rebooting is not required. On a side note, thanks for your quick responses. You guys are all helpful.

      Hi,

      Just saw your message. Sorry missed it earlier. Here is what I get

      C:\Users\pmu>ftype perl
File type 'perl' not found or no open command associated with it.

C:\Users\pmu>assoc .pl
.pl=Perl_program_file

C:\Users\pmu>
