I recorded a series of videos over the summer about C programming on FreeDOS, using the IA16 version of GCC, and OpenWatcom's C compiler. I suspect what you're describing is running the GCC compiler and getting a "fatal error" that the DJGPP environment variable is not defined. For example, if I run i16gcc without setting the environment, I get this error: i16gcc.exe: fatal error: environment variable DJGPP not defined > compilation terminated In part 1 of the programming guide <https://www.freedos.org/books/cprogramming/part1/>, I explain: To use IA-16 GCC, you need to set the DJGPP environment variable to point to the DJGPP.ENV file. You'll also want to make sure the GCC compiler is in your PATH variable. To do all that in a standard FreeDOS 1.3 RC2 installation, you can type these commands: SET DJGPP=C:\DEVEL\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV > PATH %PATH%;C:\DEVEL\I16GNU\BIN If you set that, you should be fine. Note that I installed all the "I16" packages from the Development group. You also need to install the DJGPP package to get the DJGPP environment. I haven't used Perl, so I can't help you debug that one. Sorry. Jim
