I am immersing myself into the world of Perl for the first time. I figured the easiest way was to integrate using notepad++, which is my preferred editor. I went ahead and installed the ActiveState self extracting installer. I then pointed NppExec to my perl directory by typing:
perl "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
As a script "Run Perl", saved, then added a macro using this procedure

I can run Perl scripts using the perl compiler. However, perldoc does not work erroring with:
Can't locate object method "perldoc" via package "perldoc" (perhaps you forgot to load "perldoc"?) at C:\Users...
This is because my perldoc and compiler are actually in c:\perl\bin (or whatever)
How do I switch the file path to point to the right directory? Thank you so much. I am a complete noob at this.
Edit: To add more information, perldoc works fine if i call
perldoc perldoc
using the command prompt. It does not work when i write a script in notepad++ and attempt to complile. Both the cmd prompt and notepad++ will compile scripts correctly.
