Yes the exe was in C:\Perl\bin\ Well I removed the "'s and I forgot to add in the \bin\ part, and my buildsdkshaders.bat line looks like this now:
C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe "%SrcDirBase%\materialsystem\stdshaders\runvmpi.pl" %xbox_args% -changetodir %ChangeToDir% %SDKArgs% So I tried to compile and I got this error: C:\Programming\src\materialsystem\stdshaders VMPI running in SDK mode but incorrect SDK install detected (error 2). >From there it writes all of valve's SDK shaders again.
