WinXP Path Info:

at bottom >     System Variables section in bottom half scroll to Path
(under OS) and click Edit.
Add your path to Perl. 
# hint: easiest/safest method is to copy/paste to text editor, make
edits, then paste back.

Mine Path entries look like this:
C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\;C:\Program Files\Support

IIRC, you can look at your path in the shell typing

	echo %PATH%

or something.  I don't recall where or how to modify the default.
