That indicates an ActivePerl build for 64 bit Windows.  The MSI for that
version does not install on a 32 bit version Windows, even when you are
running on an x64 processor, but I guess the ZIP file installer doesn't
have that safeguard.

However, if you try to run a 64 bit app on 32 bit Windows, then you'll
get a popup saying something like:

   C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

The error in the first message of this thread comes from cmd.exe and is
displayed when the command cannot be found via the PATH.

Cheers,
