What output do you get if you add this to the end of your Hello_world_test.pl script? 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "Hello, world!\n";

print "$^X\n";

    BrowserUK, thanks for the note. we may be getting somewhere, because the path shows a path to a Perl that i have in XAMPP, not in C:/perl64/bin. Ikegami said that I might have two Perls installed, and so I do. This is what I got:

    C:\Perl64\bin>Hello_world_test.pl
Hello, world!
C:\xampp\perl\bin\perl.exe

    [download]

    The Xampp Perl does not have the lib with the strict.pm; the Perl64 lib does. Seeing this, I tried to change the path in the Perl file to:

    #!c:/perl64/bin/perl.exe
print "Hello, world!\n";
print "$^X\n";

    [download]

    with the result:

    'Hello_world_test_1.pl' is not recognized as an internal or external c
+ommand operable program or batch file.

    [download]

    so, how do I make it go to the C:/perl64/bin/?

    Thanks for any help

      Then it is broken by design and should be scrapped.

      As I told you back up there somewhere, Windows doesn't use the shebang line. (Though Apache under Windows might). That's why I though you might also have Cygwin installed.

      If you use a Cygwin shell, that will emulate the *nix-style of shebang processing. Maybe the XAMPP Shell is something similar?

      What output do you get from: set

      What output do you see from: ftype | find "perl"?

      Switch to an account with sufficient privileges and fix the association as you tried earlier.
