Hi - No, Perl does not need a 'secret' path; It should follow your Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> System Variables -> Path.
To debug: 1) from a command prompt window: set path 2) is you Perl bin path there? (usually c:\perl\bin) 3) if not, go set up the path in Control Panel. REMEMBER to kill your command prompt window and reopen a new one when you change environment variables! 4) if the perl path is present, look in the perl path shown in the set path for perl.exe 5) if you can't find perl.exe, reinstall perl. Good luck.

I am trying to reset my path for perl and going through enviroment variable I see a path for for Perl under the Path variable. Windows still doesn't recognise that Perl is loaded in the system. Does Perl need a seperate path statement of it's own? I know I asked this question several months ago when I was first getting it installed and I'm sorry to ask again, but I forgot.
