Cd:But when I type what it says in the book I am getting an error
Cd:messagethat states that I have entered a bad command or filename what I
Cd:am entering is c:\> perl -w -e "print \ "Hello, World!\n\";" And then I
Cd:get the error message.
Cd:
Cd:I must be doing something wrong but I can not figure out what  it is.

what is the error message?  posting that always helps us help you.
