Perl works. I am, however, surprised that you do.

Since I'm not currently employed (rifted), I have some time for this nonsense. I suggest you repeat these mantras:

Perl is not DOS. DOS is a (primitive) operating system.
Perl (not PERL) is a language.
Solaris is not DOS. Solaris is a very robust operating system.
BAT files are specific to DOS.

Now, answer this question: given this code: saxpy would you expect it to compile under VB? If not, why do you expect BAT files to be interpreted by a completely different operating system?

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.
