If you type at the command line
perl -v
do you get version info on your perl?
If no, then the perl "bin" folder (where the binaries are) is not on your
PATH - not in your path environment variable.
Edit C:\Autoexec.bat and add at the end:
set PATH = %PATH%;c:\perl\bin;
where 'c:\perl\bin' is the path to the 'bin' folder of your perl installation.
the %% around PATH indicate to the OS to quote whatever was in PATH already.
If you run out environment space, let us know!
