( #3333=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I am trying to use system command from a Perl script which get invoked from another program. During the execution I get error as below

Can't spawn "cmd.exe": No error at <Program>

When I run it from the cmd.exe the Perl script works fine and system command works as expected. So it seems that system command is not able to read ComSpec environment variable which has the cmd.exe path. So how I can tell system command for this environment variable.

I will update the question with sample code shortly.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
