Thinking about it, you could probably install Paul's Perl 5.8.8 WPI carefully paying attention to whatever config.sys changes the package makes, install ExifTool_Perl then undo the config.sys changes and put those changes into the Program objects Environment tab. There's maybe a dozen Program Objects that would need the environment updated.
I think the only changes to config.sys that the perl package will make are to PATH, LIBPATH and adding SET PERLLIB_PREFIX. Backup config.sys before doing this. Use BEGINLIBPATH instead of LIBPATH and don't use the SET in the program object's ENVIRONMENT tab.
eg guessing, the environment tab should end up something like,
Wouldn't hurt to do a full backup first just in case.

BEGINLIBPATH=C:\PERL;C:\PERL\LIB
PERLIB_PREFIX=U:/PERL/LIB
Adjust to whatever gets written to config.sysWouldn't hurt to do a full backup first just in case.
