Re^2: Problem when calling script from script in Perl/CGI in Tomcat5.5 Windows XP

With ` ` I do not have any failures in log.
I run:

my @arr = `perl -w $solver_file "$inp_file" "$outfile"`;
[download]

$outfile is just an indication to print to STDOUT
I have Cygwin and ActivePerl on my machine which starts all pathes with /cygdrive/c/.
when I type "which perl" in DOS cmd I get
/cygdrive/c/ActivePerl/bin/perl
So I tried

my @arr = `/cygdrive/c/ActivePerl/bin/perl -w $solver_file "$inp_file"
+ "$outfile"`;
[download]

instead but same result, @arr is empty.

You may need to make the path-to-perl more windows-like. Try my @arr = `C:\\ActivePerl\\bin\\perl -w $solver_file "$inp_file" "$out +file"`; [download] I suspect the Windows cmd shell may not understand "/cygdrive", or may default to a different Windows drive letter.
