Try this: 1. Right-click on My Computer and select Properties. 2. On the Advanced Tab, click the Environment Variables button. 3. In the system variables, find PATH. 4. Append C:\Perl\bin to the path variable and save. 5. Any open programs will be updated with the current environment, but if you have any console windows open you will have to close and re-open them. Note: I did this on WinXP, you may have to use the Performance Tab or button on Windows 2000 instead of Advanced, I think. I don't have one here to check on. -----Original Message----- From: Lino Iozzo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2004 10:39 AM To: BeginnerPerl Subject: how to install perl ------------------------------------- I have also downloaded activestate's perl.
