You could have set the path in one line:
set path=%windir%\system32;%windir%;%windir%\system32\Wbem;C:\Perl\bin +\
As for Wbem, it's some windoze thing ... as indeed is the requirement for the majority of so many paths

Which is better ? Hmmm, the answer to that depends on whether, as you yourself suggest, you need the environment to be permanent.

BTW, you forgot to include the error you were getting when attempting to run perldoc...

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
