in reply to Re^3: Can't find or uninstall version of perl
in thread Can't find or uninstall version of perl

I took a look at my path variable. Turns out I have something called MinGW, so MINimalist Gnu for Windows, installed. It shows up right after Brackets' Path entry and before a whole stack of earlier Strawberry perl entries.

 which which returns:  usr/bin/which

 which perl returns: usr/bin/perl

perl -e "print$^X" returns: perl

Note, this is only true if I open a default windows terminal; if I use the portable shell executable packaged with portable Strawberry perl, which perl gives me the correct file path (to my desktop, atm, where I unpacked portable Strawberry perl).
