I installed active perl on my win2k12 server, I want to run a perl script but it showing this message, 'C:/Perl64/bin/' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I change environment variable path like C:\Perl\bin,C:\Perl\site\bin,C:\Perl64\bin. but what ever path i changed same path is not recognised as an internal or external command.

How do you run the perl script? By double click or from the command line? Where are your perl binaries actually installed?– Hermann SchachnerJun 21, 2016 at 6:21

A) the script to be run
a) Slashes
Have a look at the script you want to run. Most probably, the first line will look like
#!C:/Perl/bin/
or similar. Change the forward slashes to backslashes and try again.
b) Executable
Of course, the shebang above misses the executable binary. So if it is missing from your script, change it to
#!C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe
or
#!C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -w
if you want to have Perl output warnings.
B) your Perl installation
Have a look at C:\Perl\bin\ and C:\Perl64\bin\ respectively. Do both exist? If not, change the shebang in your script to
#!C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe -w
C) Alternative
I was assuming that you simply run or double click script.pl. If you want to tell Windows to run that script with a certain application (Perl, in your case), run your script via
C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe -w C:\path\to\your\script.pl

thank you !!! I tried this all but its not working. this path I have C:\Perl64\bin\ . In environment variable C:\Perl64\bin;C:\Perl64\site\bin; this both path are there. I tried by changing there sequence. but its showing that "C:\Perl64\bin" is not recognized as an internal or external command. path is whatever I set first path into environment variable.

That's interesting. Could you add at least the first couple lines, shebang and included modules of your Perl script to your question? Also, however I am sure that it does not matter, try to add a backslash to the end of the elements in your path:
C:\Perl64\bin\. Does your script run withC:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe -w C:\path\to\your\script.pl?– stuejaJun 21, 2016 at 11:10 -
Does it work as expected meanwhile? Or could you post the beginning of your Perl script here?– stuejaJun 23, 2016 at 5:18

Good to hear that. Feel free to

Actually it was an environment variable issue. I was using Oracle 11g r2. and its path didn't have oracle name in it. I am searching "oracle" word from perl script into environment variable, but I was getting the first path which was perl path, so perl was failing to run. The issue is solved. Thank you so much, stueja.
