| Greetings, I just installed perl v5.8.7 onto a 2003 server box. I can
only seem to get perl -v to run on the command line only when I cd into
the c:\perl\bin directory.
>From the commad line at any other location I am getting the ... is not
recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or
batch file error.
I am plannign on running MRTG on this box and I am sort of new to perl.
I got mrtg to run on one of my workstations with win2k but I am
stumbling with this 2003 server.
Is it an IIS issue? Is it a permissions issue?
Thanks all!

| It sounds like it cant find perl so you will need to add it to your system path.
right click "my computer" on the desktop and select properties.
select the advanced tab.
Click the "enviroment variables" button.
Find "path" in the system variables.
Select "path" and click the edit button.
see if the path to perl is and check to see its correct, if its not there the add the path to perl.
You may need to be logged in as administrator to do this.
Alternativley, install Perl again and let it create the variables for you.
The event viewer, security log can show you file permission errors, but only if you set the auditing on the files to failure and in the local security policy you turn object Auditing - Failure on.
Hope this helps.
