Problems with the Windows version of XAMPP, questions, comments, and anything related.

When I installed Xampp on a previous machine some years ago I was able to use the windows comand consol to activate perl programs,
eg. perl test.pl would run test.pl
Having just installed Xampp and the Perl addon on a new machine I can't get this to work. Any pointers on how to do this.
Thanks

You must add "\xampp\perl\bin" to your PATH environment variable.

Thanks, but I don't think that's the problem. The command line entry responsd with ' Perl is not a recognised as an internal command or program' so it looks like Windows isn't seeing Perl.

And why isn't Windows seeing Perl?

Sorry, I was being dumb. I've modified the PATH as you suggested and it now all runs!
Many thanks
