Active Perl: Please Help

[Ray Charles]

    Hi. I am trying to follow the 3 step installation instructions in the
GNUCash manual For Windows.

1) Close GNUCash
2) Install Active Perl
3) Run On-line Price Retrieval for in the GNUCash Start Menu

When I get to step 3 I keep getting the message below

* Check Perl

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

Please install ActivePerl 5.8, or above (

and add the bin directory to your Path environment variable.

An error occurred, see above.
