Hello
Unfortunately the article on http://tug.org/exlive/windows.html ist 
incomplete (for whatever reason).

Try this:
Set another environment variable:
PERL5LIB=c:\Program Files\TeXLive\xemtex\perl\lib;c:\Program 
Files\xemtex\perl\site\lib

You also may add a texmf-var tree. I got it from a linux 
installation. Then texmf.cnf and other *.cnf files go to 
../texmf-var/web2c
and you have to point with the environment variable TEXMFCNF to 
../texmf-var/web2c:
TEXMFCNF=c:\Program Files\TeXLive\texmf-var\web2c

This should work.

Yours sincerly

Wolfgang Fleischer
