I have found old posts regarding this issue, but I haven't found a successful answer,that's why I decided to post again. I have installed Strawberry-perl. I have all the folders and subfolders that it's supposed to have:

C:\Strawberry
C:\Strawberry\c
C:\Strawberry\cpan
C:\Strawberry\licenses
C:\Strawberry\perl
C:\Strawberry\win32

C:\Strawberry\perl\bin is included in the path environment variable (pointing the folder where I have the perl.exe file

However, I still get the message 'perl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Have you restarted your terminal(command prompt) since you made the environment variable change? – Hunter McMillen Jul 21 '14 at 14:59

Please open an command prompt and provide the output of `echo %PATH%` and of `perl -E"say ok"` – ikegami Jul 21 '14 at 15:00
Are you *sure* it's in the PATH variable? Do `echo %PATH%` and make sure it's in the list. You may need to restart your command prompt for it to take hold. – Mr. Llama Jul 21 '14 at 15:00
Is this Windows 32-bit or 64-bit? – Randall Jul 21 '14 at 21:24
