can't open perl script - no such file or directory

Can't Post

Hi,
I just installed ActivePerl on my Windows Vista 64 bit machine. When I execute the sample mentioned in the ActivePerl User Guide - perl example.pl - I get the message "can't open perl script example.pl: no such file or directory". I get the same when I try to execute the hello program, which I added to the C:\Perl\bin directory. I have seen a number of questions about this issue on Google, but no answers that address my problem. When I issue "perl -v", I see
This is perl, v5.10.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 9 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

When I issue "Path", I see
PATH=C:\Perl\site\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\Syst

Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared\10.0\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Qu
ickTime\QTSystem\
I can understand why example.pl, which is in C:\Perl\eg fails to be found, but hello.pl, as I have said, sits in C:\Perl\bin.
I would appreciate any help with this matter.
Thanks in advance,
