    Hello all,

    I'm getting an error using perl, I downloaded the ActivePerl 5.8.8.822. I'm trying to follow the tutorial setup for the SphinxTrain so when I type the:

    If you installed RM1

    perl scripts_pl/setup_tutorial.pl rm1

    I get and error that says:

    'perl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, opperable or batch file.

    can anyone help.

    Tahnk you

      I seem to have trouble with my environmental variables sometimes, too. I have to add it to both my user variables and my system variables (from system->advanced->environmentalVariables for it to work.

      You have to add the directory containing perl.exe to your path environmental variable.

        I think I did. I typed in on the command (DOS) window the following :

        C:\>path %PATH%;C:Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\ActivePerl\bin

        but I still get the same error. I also added the path acccecing from the advance options on myComputer. any other suggestions?

        Thank you for the quick response

        Simon
