Re^3: Activerperl permissions error win 7 64 bit vanilla install

Perhaps I misinterpreted what your command prompt looks like. If you're doing something like:

C:\ perl> perl -v
[download]

... then that's not even close to what I meant, and I'm quite sure I don't want to try it to see what happens.

Here's what I meant for you to try, for whatever your command prompt is:

perl -v
[download]
