Every time I try to use perl 5.8.8 I keep geting the error message

I fix it. I'm using activestate perl. The command I'm trying is
C:/Perl/bin/perl5.8.8.exe perl -v. Any help would be appreciated. TIA

If you relay write
C:/Perl/bin/perl5.8.8.exe perl -v.

this is wrong you are running a exe file that dont exits erl5.8.8.exe
with perl as a parameter, and thats is what the errro says.

1. The installation from activestate normal add the path to perl for
you so test writing
perl -v

if not test
C:/Perl/bin/perl -v
