You need to add perl to your %PATH% or give it an explicite path name such as
 
c:\> \perl\bin\perl -w -e "print \ "Hello, World!\n\";"

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.
