You need to add the path to the perl executable to your DOS path; if you are in Win95, 98, or ME, you have to modify your autoexec.bat for this. If you are in NT, 2K, or XP, you can set this under the System control panel (under an Environment variables). Here, you want to add the full directory name of where usr\bin sits, as shown below.
For 95,98,ME, add the following line to the end of your autoexec.bat:
PATH=C:\PATH\TO\PERL\USR\BIN;%PATH%

It's not what you know, but knowing how to find it if you don't know that's important

"I have installed Perl onto my Windows machine." How did you do this?
The earlier solution will work, however installing ActiveState is much easier and involves much less pain. It also gives you PPM, which, IMHO is a very good thing.
