 OK, but what you have done shouldn't be needed,
as per the Release Notes:

 In fact, the contents of updated "get_iplayer.cmd"
file (for the CLI) read:

@echo off
setlocal
set GIP_INST=%~dp0
if #%GIP_INST:~-1%# == #\# set GIP_INST=%GIP_INST:~0,-1%
set GIP_PERL=%GIP_INST%\perl
set GIP_UTILS=%GIP_INST%\utils
set PATH=%GIP_PERL%;%GIP_UTILS%;%PATH%
"%GIP_PERL%\perl.exe" "%GIP_INST%\get_iplayer.pl" %*

and the contents of updated "get_iplayer.cgi.cmd"
file (for the GUI) read:

@echo off
setlocal
set GIP_INST=%~dp0
if #%GIP_INST:~-1%# == #\# set GIP_INST=%GIP_INST:~0,-1%
set GIP_PERL=%GIP_INST%\perl
set GIP_UTILS=%GIP_INST%\utils
set PATH=%GIP_PERL%;%GIP_UTILS%;%PATH%
"%GIP_PERL%\perl.exe" 
"%GIP_INST%\get_iplayer.cgi" --port=1935 --listen=127.0.0.1 --getiplayer="%GIP_INST%\get_iplayer.cmd" 
%*

Both contain line:

set PATH=%GIP_PERL%;%GIP_UTILS%;%PATH%

Plus, SAO said:

 He doesn't mention a system reboot,
perhaps that is why he did not see
any difference.
Either way, what SAO and you (shevek)
have reported appears to be bugged
behaviour (on Win7 and Win Home Server 2011
respectively), at least according to
the release notes, that merits further
investigation.

Just my 2p

Regards.
