in thread path for perl

Try using the file search in Windoze Explorer (or as I know it, Exploder:-) to search for cmd.exe - having found it, add the directory in which it's located to the path - probably somewhere near the front.

.oO(It [cmd.exe] might even 'live' in %windir%\system...)

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