What version of perl are you installing, also which package did you get. If
you got the MSI package from Activestate this will install it at set the
path. If not you get set the path in WIN 2k by right clicking on my
computer, and going to properties, click on performance and then on
environmental variables. IF scroll down on the second window that is there,
you will see the path statement. Just add the perl bin dir to the path and
reboot and you should be good to go. Hope I help you some. If there is
anything else I can help with just let me know.
