I already have Alien::wxWidgets 0.4601 installed on this machine with perl 5.10.1 I also have Alien::wxWidgets 0.52 installed on the same machine in 5.12.3 (I just keep renaming the c:\strawberry directories to have the right perl in them) Now when I tried to upgrade Alien::wxWidgets on th 5.10.1 installation, staring from a command window I got this. Strangely I can run "cmd" from the Start/Run thingy but once the window is open if I type in cmd or cmd.exe
I am told: 'cmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I am not sure how I managed to install it on the same machine using 5.12.3...
