Hi Ethen, Take a look at the PerlMonks FAQ and How do I post a question effectively?, since your question could do with some more detail. Are you trying to automate some third party application via a Perl script? Thanks Martin	[reply]

As you don't tell us anything about the environment, especially what the significance of "`Srvrmgr>`" at the start of your "command" is supposed to be, it's rather hard for us to guess at what you actually want. I suggest that you tell us more about your environment and the problem you're trying to solve.	[reply] [d/l]

I will be foolish and guess that 'Srvmgr>' is a prompt generated by a program called Srvmgr, and that it reads the command-line from STDIN. `# Run Srvmgr in a pipe open (SRVMGR, "\|Srvmgr.exe") \|\| die "Can't run Srvmgr:$!"; print SRVMGR 'Run Task for comp ProcMgr server sieb04_env# with proce +ssName="Project Deployment", RowId=”Captured Session Id”',"\n"; close SRVMGR;` [download] Is that what you are looking for?

People might be able to help if you were to give just a teeny-tiny clue as to what this is meant to do and in what environment. Also let us know what you've tried and how the results differed from what you expected and from what you wanted.	[reply]
