Try:

environment =
PATH=C:\Perl\bin;C:\windows\system32;C:\windows|PERL5LIB=C:\Perl\site\li
b;C:\Perl\lib

I mis-represented how the environment setting works. You use it to
define settings, not pass them along. So you have to explicitly define
the values you're trying to pass. Note, you can also reference ClassAds
attributes from the machine's classad here.

I have the following defined in my condor_config.local file on my
Windows machines and it works:
STARTER_JOB_ENVIRONMENT =
PERL5LIB=d:\abc\perl_5_6_1_638\Perl\lib;.|PATH=d:\abc\perl_5_6_1_638\Per
l\bin;d:\abc\condor\bin;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32;C:\WINDOWS\System

atchfiles;1700@goto|BATCHSYSTEMFTPSERVER=ttc-griddata

Note there are no "'s around things.

See above, but I think you got this to work already.
