That's not what I read. From the README:

        Set the Perl environment variables, the most important of which
        is PERL_LIBPATH. Its format is build/path; install\path. For
        example:

        set PERL_LIBBATH = L:/Perl/lib; X:\Perl\lib;

        where X is the drive on which you install Perl. This can be done
        either in config.sys or at a command prompt.

So: you seem to be setting the wrong environment variable for this
effect.
