Did you actually put that in a batch file (read your M$ manual) and then call the batch file from Perl, or did you merely try to insert it in the code you've shown? If you didn't program your executable by toggling in binary, it wasn't really programming!	[reply]

I write as you have written ! `glomosim data.in; system("start.in");` [download] I see it is incorrect to put them like this without "" inside any function or subrotine :/ !! I got the error : Can't locate object method "glomosim" via package "data"..	[reply] [d/l]

It seems that you have the ".bat" extension assocoated with the perl interpreter. try running it with this command: `cmd /c start.bat` [download] If that works, and plain "start.bat" gives you an error, please google how to associate ".bat" files with the windows command interpreter (after all, this is not "dos-monks") "The trouble with the Internet is that it's replacing masturbation as a leisure activity." -- Patrick Murray	[reply] [d/l]

I think you misunderstood me. Create another text file called `start.bat` with one line ; `glomosim data.in` Test that by typing `start.bat` into your DOS cmd line If that works, in your perl script try the command `system("start.bat")` poj	[reply] [d/l] [select]
