Re^5: executing a .bat or .exe from within perl script ??

Hi Eric. I have used 'System' in the middle of the Perl script to launch .exe File. It launched successfully, But it will be in the pause mode until we close that .exe File. Ant then the rest of the code will run. Do you we have any other way that, the code should run until script end? I also tried using subroutines. But does not work. Hence instead i used 'exec'at the end of the script and then called a another part of Perl script.

If you do not want to wait for the exe program to finish, you can use the Windows-specific form of system (see perlport): `system( 1, "C:\\Path\\to\\that.exe" ) == 0 or warn "Couldn't launch program: $^E";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
