Hello,
I am running WIN 7 Pro 64bit. My goal is to be able to execute a perl (.pl) from any directory I may be in.
For example, all my scripts are in c:\scripts
If I am using cmd shell and I am in c:\customers\foo I want to be able to hit the tab key while I type in a few characters of the perl script.
But it not working like that. I did set my PATH environment that included c:\scripts;:.:; along with other standard windows directories, but it wont find it.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks
