Is there anyway to configure MiKTeX so that it locates script engine perl.exe?

I am using MiKTeX and I keep receiving the following error from latexmk.exe even if I have done all the necessary actions to handle this: Downloaded latexmk 4.48, created a folder scriptslatexmkperl, copied latexmk.bat & latexmk.pl in it and added in latexmk.bat the full path of the perl.exe in my PC)
Unfortunately, the error message does not indicate where is latexmk.exe looking for the perl engine -- big S/W flaw! So, how can I find where is MiKTeX looking for this script engine so that I can either move latexmk.bat & latexmk.pl in there or configure MiKTeX to look for the necessary files in scriptslatexmkperl ?
(Added later)
Here are the 2 error message lines:
latexmk: The script engine could not be found.
latexmk: Data: scriptEngine="perl.exe"
(Note: I have also tried using the parent folder: scriptslatexmk. No luck! All the scripts are there. Where else is MiKTeX looking for latexmk.pl???)

You are not writing which error you get. Why do you install latexmk manually and not with the package manager?

Oh sorry. I had in mind doing that, of course, but ... Here are the 2 error message lines: latexmk: The script engine could not be found. latexmk: Data: scriptEngine="perl.exe"

I installed the WiKTeX package. It installed latexmk.exe but not latexmk.pl and latexmk.bat. That's why I downloaded and added them later. I have read this solution in another tex.stackexchange.com question.

I found that the path of perl.exe must be in environment PATH. This is the only way I could make MiKTeX's tatexmk.exe run.
So, the answer to the question is that MiKTeX is not configuarable as far as this issue is concerned.
