You probably haven't added the location of perl.exe to your path. Assuming
perl.exe is in the folder C:\perl\bin just enter at the prompt:
path=C:\perl\bin;%path%
(If perl.exe is located elsewhere, then modify accordingly.)
To check, enter:
perl -v
(See Windows Help for directions on how to add your perl\bin folder
*permanently* to your path. Otherwise you need to set the path as above
every time you open a new cmd.exe window.)
Cheers,
