Hi bill5262,

In addition to my other post here's a really quick example:

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use warnings;
use strict;

use IPC::System::Simple 'system';

my $ieeeaddr = 20;
system('GPIBSHOT.EXE','/HIDE',"/$ieeeaddr",'/COLOR','/NAME=IMG1',
    '/SCREEN','/NAME=DAT1','/TRACE2','/END');
[download]

Update: The line "use IPC::System::Simple;" should have been "use IPC::System::Simple 'system';", since system is not exported by default!

Hope this helps,
