Let me apologize in advance for my general ignorance: I 
empathize with those of you who will say, "Not THAT question 
again!"

I have perl5.002 which came with my MKS toolkit on 
windowsNT3.5.1. It is in N:/mksnt and named perl.exe. The MKS 
toolkit comes with a Korn shell so that, fortunately, I can 
write / instead of \. 

I put libwww in N:/etc and tried to run the makefile by
cd N:/etc/perl/libwww/libwww-perl5-b13/
perl Makefile.PL

I get the message:
Unable to find a perl 5.002 (by these names: perl perl perl5 
....) in these dirs: N \mksnt;....

I have N:/mksnt and N:/etc/perl/lib/ in my path variable.

Perl works fine and I have run some complicated programs which 
do statistics on different types of logfiles; however, I haven't 
tried to use perl with any modules so far. 

MKS installed perl, not me, so, perhaps, that is where it all 
started to go wrong; more likely it is my fault and not theirs; 
however, I had no trouble setting up and running Java.

I hope one of you can get me reoriented.
