in thread Perl 4 qx doesn't work

Thank you, I will look at system. I have to use Perl 4 perl.exe as part of a Tivoli installation. My only other option would be to use Per2Exe to convert it, but the company won't buy it for me. I will look into the system command. Thank you!

    Sounds like someone should be getting in touch with IBM to find out why they're using a very out of date version of Perl then.

      First day at a new client site and I have been asked to look at an IBM perl script written in 2003. It is in perl4 :( IBM are still putting the stuff out in the Tivoli world. Why oh why.
