Hi,
Is there a way in Perl or a function that has the capabilities of calling or running executable files, let say i want the calculator in windows run and I would call it through perl, is this possible.
Thanks,
Julius

Here is a simple shot. I use the editor scite and this will fire it up on machine and then hang (Perl Script) there until you exit scite. |
#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $MyScite = 'C:/wscite/SciTE.exe';
my $MyStatus = system($MyScite);
Now if you wanted to start the processes and continue on, then you could use wstart and something like this to start the process on your mahcine and then continue on:
my $MyStatus = system( "wstart $MyScite &" );
Wags ;)
