Updating the path Variable

After you have installed Perl on your machine, you need to modify your PATH variable so that it includes the directory that contains the Perl executable. If you installed Perl on a Windows NT machine, you need to do something like this,

SET PATH=C:\perl6\bin;%PATH%;

and if you are in a Unix environment you need to do the following:

PATH=/usr/local/bin/:$PATH; export PATH (for Bourne shell) export PATH=/usr/local/perl6/bin:$PATH (for Korn shell)

Remember that you must replace the Windows NT directory C:\perl6\bin (or the Unix directory /usr/local/perl6/bin) with the directory where you installed Perl on your machine.
