Yes ,I am confused from the error , I tried everything I found to pass a cmd command using system and I got either errors or nothing . I stoped at the lastest error "can't spawn "cmd.exe" : No such file or directory at run_FtpGen.pl line 71...." and I didn't get any suggestion to solve it. So I have installed windows XP on my second laptop and install perl on it ! because I was wonder that the reason is with windows 7. I am beginner with perl.no time to me to learn it in deep Just plz tell me How I can pass a commaned to cmd using system subrotine?! I don't know why it is ignored and I got nothing now ! Thank you
