in thread system subroutine is ignored

It seems that you have the ".bat" extension assocoated with the perl interpreter.

try running it with this command: 

cmd /c start.bat

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")

    ...or, maybe, (as poj notes earlier (but below) and as I later noted above), Njoud
    1. tried to insert poj's suggested test-code (batch script) directly into his Perl script?
    2. doesn't read carefully?
    3. doesn't have a firm grasp on his OS?
    4. etc... (possibilities too insulting to specify).

    If you didn't program your executable by toggling in binary, it wasn't really programming!
