svsingh,

What exactly are you trying to do here?

c:\data> perl c:\perl\test.pl

I'd like to add c:\perl to some environment variable so running the following command would work: 

c:\data> perl c:\perl\test.pl

The two different things that you are trying to do look exactly the same.

Are you trying to

• Be able to type the name of the file which is in the current directory and have the file execute with perl?
• Type perl test.pl and have test.pl execute regardless of the directory that you are in?
• Both
• Niether?

Please let us know so that we can help.

Thank you,
