Hey mark, My MUA believes you used Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200 to write the following on Sunday, May 26, 2002 at 12:47:39 AM.
m> Hi, m> I can't seem to get ActivePerl working on my win2k machine. m> I checked my enviroment variables and found it not there. I edited my ev's m> to include Perl: m> C:\Perl\bin and tried C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe; m> I tried it both as User and as Admin. m> I tried perl -v to test it out in both cases and got: m> 'perl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable m> program or batch file. m> But if I cd\Perl\bin and then type perl -v at the prompt while in that dir m> it works. m> What else do I have to do to get it working properly? It would be nice to m> be able to test scripts and stuff without having to cd\ into the proper m> directory. Who knows what other trouble I could cause myself once I m> actually get it working. It has always just worked for me... when you drop to a cmd prompt and type 'path' what do you get? here is what mine looks like PATH=D:\Perl\bin\;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;... that part for \perl\bin is what you are looking for. When you edited it (as you say above) where did you edit it? To edit it system wide (which is what you want) you need to get properties on 'My Computer', go to the 'Advanced' tab, select the Env Vars button. The bottom half is where you want to add your c:\perl\bin;. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] MUA = TB! v1.60k (www.RitLabs.com/The_Bat) Windows 2000 5.0.2195 (Service Pack 2) The days of the digital watch are numbered. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
