Hello Monks,

I am trying to write a perl script that would access and execute command in another command prompt.

Explanation: Windows command prompt 1 is executing a perl script , and executes a system command that opens another command prompt ,with some set environment variables , now once the other prompt is opened i want to execute different sequence of commands in the newly opened prompt,

Is there any way where i can search process (in this case a command prompt) , and then input that process with a .bat file,

Tried something like

$pid = open("$nameofprompt" , "|$args"); but NO luck,

unfortunately the platform is windows, any kind of help would be a help,

thanks .
