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]

...or, maybe, (as poj notes earlier (but below) and as I later noted above), Njoud tried to insert poj's suggested test-code (batch script) directly into his Perl script? doesn't read carefully? doesn't have a firm grasp on his OS? etc... (possibilities too insulting to specify). If you didn't program your executable by toggling in binary, it wasn't really programming!	[reply]

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]
