In addition to this list I aways recommend that
questions be asked on <a

moz-do-not-send="true">www.perlmonks.org</a> as
well. The site looks like it's straight out of the
nineties, but it is actually tremendously useful.
They have a few resident Perl-On-Windows gurus too.<br>

I looked up answers online and a
lot of them are "reboot the

I rebooted and it didn't fix
anything. A registry-fixer was
recommended but I decided to
uninstall it after installing. It
would be nice to have some help.
