Perl installation error



When installing perl, if you get the error:

 "Couldn't retrieve path information from session manager!!
  Win32::RegSetValueEx: Type not specified, cannot set Path"

You can finish the install by manually adding perl information
to your Registry. To do this, launch RegEdit and add the following
string entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ActiveWare\Perl5:

      BIN	
      PRIVLIB	

Also add the following key to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

	.pl	"Perl"
