I'm perplexed! I have written a perl script that executes a .bat without specifying the absolute path to the file. When it executes in the script it acts as though it has executed but in reality it hasn't. If I execute the .bat file from the command line, it functions accordingly. I guess my question is, is why doesn't it execute from my perl script, and or is their a way to execute a .bat file in a perl script that emulates my command line execution? I have tried executing the .bat file using its absolute path, but without success. I am also using the 'system' command to execute it. I'm not sure if this is the problem, but I have also tried 'exec'and 'open'. Is their a way to gaurantee that my perl script runs in its current directory?
Thanks for the advice!

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).
