You need to add the `c:\perl\bin` directory to you path. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Thanks. Could you explain to this dummy what that means, please.	[reply]

If you don't understand what that is, I strongly suggest that you delete the perl you've installed (using the command `rd /q /s c:\perl`); then download and install the ActiveState .MSI installer which will set up the path (and many other configuration items) for you in a consistent and working fashion. You can obtain the .MSI installer from here. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo.

Thanks! I downloaded a zip file from the ActivePerl website, extracted it, then moved the 'perl' folder to the C drive directory. So you did not use Installer.bat? Installer.bat will update the registry to add to %PATH%	[reply]
