That's not how the PATH environment variable works, neither in Windows nor in Unix. The PATH environment variable contains directories not executable files. Try

unshift @PATH, "C:\\windows\\system32";

instead, and consider not running a weirdly configured environment. Many Windows programs will fail if %WINDIR%\system32 is not in the path.

      If you had actually read and followed the writeups, you would know by know that the C:\\windows\\system32\\cmd.exe /C part is superfluous.
