I downloaded activeperl and configure iis for cgi setting.

However, when I tried to run perl.exe, I always got the error:

C:\program files\activeperl-5.8.8.820-MSWin32-x64-274739\per\bin\perl.e xe=
is not a valid win32 applicaton.

I also try to run perl script: perl -c myscript.pl

I got 'perl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operab=
le programor batch file.

What am I missing here?

Thanks

Is that the default path to Perl these days ? I'd uninstall it and
install it at c:\perl to make things easier. Then you need to make
sure that c:\perl\bin is in your PATH env vrbl (type 'set' in cmd
shell to verify). If not, you can either add it or use the full
path to perl to run a script eg: c:\perl\bin\perl -c myscript.pl
Obviously with the path that you currently have it'll take a lot of
typing if it's not on your path.

I notice a missing 'l' in '...\per\bin\...'

No, this is *not* the default path. The default is still

%SystemDrive%\Perl

The installer will add Perl\site\bin and Perl\bin to the PATH
automatically (unless you uncheck the option in the installer), but the
new setting will not change existing cmd.exe Windows. I noticed that at
least on some systems I need to explicitly go to the computer properties
and refresh the environment settings because somehow MSI doesn't seem to
notify the Explorer correctly.

Anyways, for IIS to recognize the new environment settings you need to
restart IIS. To be completely safe it may be easiest to reboot the
machine.

That indicates an ActivePerl build for 64 bit Windows. The MSI for that
version does not install on a 32 bit version Windows, even when you are
running on an x64 processor, but I guess the ZIP file installer doesn't
have that safeguard.

However, if you try to run a 64 bit app on 32 bit Windows, then you'll
get a popup saying something like:

C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

The error in the first message of this thread comes from cmd.exe and is
displayed when the command cannot be found via the PATH.

Cheers,

The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this =
software?

However, I click run, then I got another message:

So, which package should I download for my window?

This misleading error message comes from the MSI service. It is
actually *not* your processor type that isn't supported, but your
Windows version.

ActivePerl-5.8.8.820-MSWin32-x86-274739.msi

The x86 version contains 32 bit ActivePerl and runs on both 32 and 64
bit Windows.

The x64 version for contains 64 bit ActivePerl and requires 64 bit
Windows running on an x64 (Intel or AMD) processor. It does not support
the Intel Itanium processors (IA64).
