I notice a missing 'l' in '...\per\bin\...'

No, this is *not* the default path. The default is still
%SystemDrive%\Perl
The installer will add Perl\site\bin and Perl\bin to the PATH
automatically (unless you uncheck the option in the installer), but the
new setting will not change existing cmd.exe Windows. I noticed that at
least on some systems I need to explicitly go to the computer properties
and refresh the environment settings because somehow MSI doesn't seem to
notify the Explorer correctly.
Anyways, for IIS to recognize the new environment settings you need to
restart IIS. To be completely safe it may be easiest to reboot the
machine.
