And, raising another possibility, M$' "Access Control" may be getting in your way... as it does not always behave as you might expect, despite your "Admin" status.

But from your description, you did put \Perl\bin in your path. That's good.

However, your "hello.pl" file does NOT belong in "C:\Perl\bin" or "C:\Program Files\Perl\bin" because that's for Perl itself.

Instead, create another directory, outside the AC restricted zone... perhaps, "C:\Libraries\scripts" or, better yet, "D:\scripts" and try running "hello.pl" from there.
