Sounds to me like your OS doesn't know where the perl executable is. Try running with c:\perl\bin\perl instead of just perl.

From what I can remember I am running MSDOS version 6.0 (I thank) and the version of perl is perl 5.8

But when I type what it says in the book I am getting an error messagethat states that 
I have entered a bad command or filename
what I am entering is c:\> perl -w -e "print \ "Hello, World!\n\";"
And then I get the error message.

I must be doing something wrong but I can not figure out what it is.
