CScript Error: Can't find script engine "PerlScript" for script	Can't Post

Hi,
I've been experimentating with wscript/cscript and vbscript/perlscript.
(I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum ;) ).

So, I'm trying to run a perl- and vbscript with CSCript in command console (windows).
The vbscript (hello.vbs):

Code

WScript.echo "Hello World"

The perlscript (hello.pls):

Code

$WScript->echo ("Hello World");

I run both script in command console:
vbscript:

Code

cscript hello.vbs

perlscript:

Code

cscript hello.pls  
OR  
cscript hello //E:perlscript

The vbscript runs fine but the output of the perlscript is

Quote

CScript Error: Can't find script engine "perlscript" for script "hello.pls".

I've tried "c:\perl\bin> regsvr32 PerlSE.dll" with no success.

Help would be gladly appreciated!!
