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).

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
