I need to run perl on my windows vista machine. I downloaded the 64 bit version of ‘active perl’ (because I have a 64 bit machine) from here: http://www.perl.org/get.html#win32
(ActivePerl-5.14.2.1402-MSWin32-x64-295342.msi)
I ran the executable and just followed the default prompts.
After installing, I typed into my cmd prompt:
perl -v
…and it spit out…
'perl' is not recognized as an internal or operable program or batch file.
Your PATH is probably not set up to point to your perl installation.
