I recently installed Perl and an Andromedia bot and here is what happened in msdos
| Quote: | cd\andromeda
c:\andromeda> perl andromeda.pl
'perl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. |
I figure the 'perl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file is the error - can anybody help me? |

You can use a full path name to the perl executable. CD into the Andromeda folder (or wherever you have andromeda.pl) and type the following:
| Code: | | C:\perl\bin\perl andromeda.pl |

you could try going into
control panel>System>Advanced>Environment Variables
then under system variables try adding C:/perl/bin; (or the location to your perl bin) into the path variables
if it cant find your path to perl, might of forgot to keep the check box checked that said add perl to environment variables or whatever it says |

It might Not be
| Code: | | control panel>System>Advanced>Environment Variables<br />then under system variables try adding C:/perl/bin; (or the location to your perl bin) into the path variables<br /> |
It Depends on what "Operator" system your using Windows 98,2000,mel
your probrably using Xp |

Or just reboot. You might have said no when it asked to setup your environment variables. Which i think someone mentioned. Easiest may just be to run the install agian and let it do everything it wants to do.
