Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Proper configuration of TEXSTDIO for PStricks

Good time of the day!
Code I am trying to compile:

Error I get:

pdfcrop: The script engine could not be found. pdfcrop: Data: scriptEngine="perl.exe", scriptName="pdfcrop"

Process exited normally

Thank you in advance.

Seems MikTeX doesn't come with some version of PERL installed.

I guess you need to manually install that programming language for pdfcrop to work.
Have a look at activePerl or strawberryPerl.

Thank you, but how I tell top Miktex, where perl is installed?
By the way, a several years ago there was a similar post:
https://latex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14677

[Johannes_B]

If perl is installed correctly, it is included in the PATH and every program will find it.

If it is a MikTeX thing, have you had a look at the bug tracker?

[rstm]

Where I can look at bug tracker?
I am not a programmer to go to internals of MikTex.
I only want to use PStricks to draw pictures.

PSTricks usually works fine with XeLaTeX. In that case you don't need pdfcrop or perl. Just remove \usepackage{auto-pst-pdf} and compile with XeLaTeX instead of pdfLaTeX.

But I want to work with pdf-latex. Xetex has its drawbacks.
