in thread Perl 5.10.1 RC1 released for testing

'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I expect that the problem here is that you've stuck gzip.exe in a path that contains a space (namely, the space between "Program" and "Files"). Efforts are often made to cater for that type of OS/user bug .... buggered if I know why :-)
For mine, the correct thing to do is to simply not put *anything* in a location that contains white space.

Cheers,
Rob

    Cleaning up path isn't a bad idea 
    
use Env '@PATH';
my @short = map {Win32::GetShortPathName($_) }  @PATH;
print 'set path=', pop @short, "\n";
print "$_\n" for map { "set path=$_;%path%" } reverse @short;

__END__

...
set path=C:\PROGRA~1\GNU\GnuPG;%path%
set path=C:\PROGRA~1\gnuwin32\bin;%path%
...
