Does anyone here use Perl ?

I am trying to get Perl running using:
http://Hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/dev/perl-5.8.0-bin.zip, etc.

I have unzipped the 5 archives from Hobbes to my I: drive.
I then modified my CONFIG.SYS as directed by the README:

set PERL_LIBPATH = L:/Perl/lib; X:\Perl\lib; (sub I: for X:)

The readme said PERL_LIBBATH which I assumed was a typo since the
previous line used PERL_LIBPATH. Another assumption: that the forward
slashes are a result of Perl's *NIX roots, and that the spaces are OK.

I also added:

LIBPATH=...;I:\PERL\LIB\5.8.0;
PATH=...;I:\PERL\BIN;

After some reading in PERL.inf, and lots of testing, I added:

SET PERL_SH_DIR=I:\PERL\BIN

What has me stumped at the moment is:

SET PERLLIB_PREFIX=

I have tried:

SET PERLLIB_PREFIX=L:/PERLLIB/LIB;I;\PERL\LIB\5.8.0;
and SET PERLLIB_PREFIX=L:/PERLLIB/LIB;I;\PERL\LIB\5.8.0

Neither work. TESTPERL.CMD says:

Cannot find the core of Perl library.

It suggests: view perl PERLLIB_PREFIX, but the discussion there makes no
sense to me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
