I want to know, whether the user has perl installed in his machine, if not I am supposed to install perl in his machine. Is there a way to check this? There is no any registry key involved; there is an environment variable set (PATH). The only method is to type perl –v in the command prompt. I get this output.

This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86

Please give me a solution for this matter.

Check the path environment variable for Perl, as you said?

SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Environment";

Thanks dkenny ,

If user has installed perl before, his path will be different. So do you think I have to look for the word 'perl' in the path.
