Perl path setting in windows 7

Step 1: Before path setting you can see the command prompt window like this,

Step 2: setting path through system properties

Right click on computer -> Properties -> Advanced system settings -> Advanced tab -> Environment variables -> System variables -> edit the path

and add this, “C:\xampp\perl\bin” (location of perl bin)

Step 3: Setting path through command prompt,

Difference between step2 and step3 are,

1. Setting path through system properties is one time work. But setting path through command prompt must be set whenever the cmd has been opened.

2. Setting path through system properties requires admin rights, but setting path through command prompt doesn’t requires admin rights.
