How do I fix "perl is not recognized" on Windows? -

I have set up a log file to take mySQL slow queries.

I went though though Linux makes it unable to parse the file. This task looks very simple. It seems easy in the tutorial:

  $ mysqldumpslow -sc -t 10  

However, I'm not sure how you run Perl, located in: G: \ xampp \ perl \ bin with Perl script Mysqldumpslow.pl , located in: G: \ xampp \ mysql \ scripts

I have tried to log in:

G: \ xampp \ mysql \ scripts \ perl mysqldumpslow -sc -t 10

command line Rompt some features such as "Pearl is not valid".

Error, you're using the wrong path.

If perl.exe is located in G: \ xampp \ perl \ bin and mysql script: live in \ xampp \ mysql \ script, you should:

 > ; G: \ xampp \ perl \ bin \ perl g: \ xampp \ mysql \ scripts \ mysqldumpslow.pl -sc -t 10.  

Of course, this is a very intersection of ways Therefore, instead, add Pearl, and cd to your path and then run it:

  & gt; Pat = g Set: \ xampp \ perl \ bin \;% PATH% // Note: This can be added to the // system control panel & gt; CD / DG: \ xampp \ mysql \ scripts & gt; Perl mysqldumpslow.pl -s c -t 10  

Or better, add Perl to your known file types.

1. Go to Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> File Type.
2. Type 'new' for the extension field, click pl OK.
3. Find PL in your list, under Advanced Click Action, click on 'New'.

4. For the action type open , 'the application used to act' type:

   g: \ xampp \ Perl \ bin \ perl.exe -w "% 1"% *

5. Click OK.

Now you can just run the script like this:

  & gt; Mysqldumpslow.pl -sc -t 10  

As you would in linux.

Quick Note: Adding .pl files as known file types is almost equivalent to Unix people

# to start each Perl script! / Usr / bin / perl -w

In Windows you have to add it only once.

The second note: -w turns warnings in the Pearl Interpreter if you wish to leave -w .
