Notes for Windows '95 Users
=====================

Windows NT Perl was developed for Windows NT 3.51, and should run on
Windows 95. However, NT Perl has not been tested extensively under Windows
95. The following problems have been encountered:

- scripts converted by pl2bat into batch files will not run from the command line.
This is because the batch file uses cmd.exe (the Windows NT command shell)
to launch perl. Replacing cmd.exe with command.com in batch files should
fix this problem.

- Win32 extensions (e.g. OLE, Win32 Registry, etc), might not work properly on
Win 95.

- The install script does not work under Windows 95. However, all the functions
peformed by the install script can be done by hand. To install NT Perl on Win 95:

Unzip the NT Perl zip file to the directory where you would like it installed.

Copy perl.exe, perlglob.exe, pl2bat.bat and mkolex.bat to a directory where you
would like all your perl scripts to reside.

Add the following key to your registry:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Resource Kit\PERL5

Add the following values to the above key:

BIN       = <binpath>
HTML-DOCS = <perlpath>\docs
PRIVLIB   = <perlpath>\lib

Where <binpath> is the directory that perl.exe and perlglob.exe reside, and
<perlpath> is the directory where the main perl package resides.

For example, <binpath> might be c:\perl\bin, and <perlpath> might be
c:\perl\5.001.

Modify your search path, add <binpath> to the head of the path.
