i used the command 

cpanm WordNet::Similarity

the first time it generate error for installing the dependencies wiht the package

WordNet::QueryData and the problem seem to be described byt this error message

* Please set the WNHOME environment variable to the location of your WordNet installation. QueryData.pm will not work otherwise. Alternatively, you can make the installation in the default * location, C:\Program Files\WordNet\3.0 on Windows, or /usr/local/WordNet-3.0 on unix.

i donwloaded the last version for windows the version 2.1 i instaled it in C:\Program Files (x86)\WordNet\2.1

the first problem is that they haven't the same name so impossible that the instalation find this location

and the proposed solution is to set

WNHOME environment variable (specifying the WordNet installation directory).

how to set the WNHOME? because i set the PATH in the environnment variable to the location and i have the same problem

    It sounds like you're just asking [how to set environment variables in Windows](http://ss64.com/nt/set.html). – ThisSuitIsBlackNot Jan 13 '17 at 16:19

    maybe, i am not sure of the problem because i already set the environement variable (PATH) and it doesn'twork – Narimen Dal Jan 13 '17 at 16:40

    `PATH` is not the same as `WNHOME`. It tells you to set `WNHOME`, so you should set `WNHOME`. – ThisSuitIsBlackNot Jan 13 '17 at 16:41
  • You *MUST* learn how to use your chosen OS and development environment before trying your hand at programming. There are no two ways about it. – Sinan Ünür Jan 13 '17 at 16:52

    @SinanÜnür your answers is not in the topic, if you have a constructiv idea, so tell it, because i know variable environement and all what you speak about, it just only problem of english ;) – Narimen Dal Jan 13 '17 at 17:07
  • @ThisSuitIsBlackNot thank you this help me because i was confused with the WNHOME, i was thinking windows home – Narimen Dal Jan 13 '17 at 17:12
  • @NarimenDal Mine was not an answer, it was a comment. You asked how to set an environment variable. You need to know that stuff before you can program. It is just the way it is. – Sinan Ünür Jan 13 '17 at 22:18

it is very simple, it is not the the PATH, but you must create new variable one WNHOME (for example C:\Program Files\WordNet\2.1)it is for the folder of wordnet (WN)) and another variable WNSEARCHDIR for the dictionnary ex: C:\Program Files\WordNet\2.1\dict
