Siep explained it to me once, it has something to do with 32 and 64
versions, and starting perl switch windows into some 32bit shell that
hides the stuff in the 64bit dir.

Here explanation was that:

> programs `system32' really means `syswow64', which is the 32-bit
> counterpart of system32 and does not contain curl.

Not that I understand anything of that ...
