Sure.

The readme is wrong. It's meaningless, so drop the statement. FWIW,
spaces are not allowed in set statements, unless you don't want them to
work. :-)

If you use 4OS2, add

SET .pl=perl -w

> LIBPATH=...;I:\PERL\LIB\5.8.0;

This will do you no good.

> PATH=...;I:\PERL\BIN;

This is OK.

> SET PERL_SH_DIR=I:\PERL\BIN

This is OK if sh.exe if is in I:\PERL\BIN.

Use

SET PERLLIB_PREFIX=l:/perl/lib;I:\PERL\LIB

You need to point to the root of the Perl library tree. Perl knows how to
find the version specific subdirectories. You are telling Perl how to
translate compiled in references to l:/perl/lib.

>Neither work. TESTPERL.CMD says:

This should go away once you fix up PERLLIB_PREFIX.

Well, it's written by and for Perl programmers.
