Hello, I'm a bit confused over this. I am trying to clear the screen using a system call. (I am running this on a Windows 2000 machine). I tried using system('cls'), but that did not work. Well, I'll let the code speak for itself,

$Output = system('cls');
print($Output);

This does not clear the screen. The output is 65280. Does anyone know what would cause this not to work? UPDATE: after running this with the -w switch, perl informs me that it Can't spawn "cmd.exe": Invalid argument at test.pl line1.
