<div>
It says to set the `Path' environment variable: to c:\perl\bin<br />
-- You can do this in the `Environment' tab of the `System' Control Panel (accessible by mousing &quot;Start&quot; -&gt; &quot;Settings&quot; -&gt; &quot;Control Panel&quot;).<br />
<br />
BUT there is no 'Envoronment' tab of 'system'<br />
How can I set the Path?<br />

<div>
Are you sure? &nbsp;I thought that win98 had a NT compatible applet there.... Hmmmm././.<br />
It would probably be best to take a look around the control panel (or even search the help system for environment) and find out how to set an environment variable<br />
<br />
If that fails, you can also set it in your autoexec.bat, presuming win98 recognizes that at startup. <br />

Perl on Win98

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
