The perl command works if I type set path=C:\Perl\bin at the msdos after startup.
This is the autoexec file. Is there a syntax error here that I don't see set JAVA_HOME =C:\j2sdk1.4.1 set J2EE_HOME =C:\j2sdkee1.2.1 set ANT_HOME =C:\ant set CATALINA_HOME =C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat4.1 set path=C:\Perl\bin\;C:\mysql\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%ANT_HOME%\bin;%CATALINA_HOME%\bin; set classpath=C:\Perl\bin;C:\mysql\bin;%CATALINA_HOME%\bin;%ANT_HOME%\bin;C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\DBD\mysql\; C:\VIAUDIO\VIAUDIO.COM SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D0 P300 I'm trying to get mysql installed correctly so I can start studying databases. I installed it as a separate package from the mysql site. Does this matter? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
