Hi - I'm trying to run a perl script that comes from a Database, and pass some parameters to that script. The test script below gives you the main idea. However, I can't find a way to pass params to the SCRIPT. Parameters passed to the RUN command go to PERL, and not to the script. HELP !!!
(This is a Windoze 2000 environment - does it matter?)
I want to pass "SomeText" to the $CalledScript, and expect to see the output "Hello\n Argument=SomeText".
---------------------
#ThisScript
use IPC::Run qw( run timeout ) ;


my $CalledScript = "print qq(hello\n Argument=\@ARGV[0]\n);"; 

my $out;
my @prog = ("perl");

run \@prog, \$CalledScript, \$out;

foreach(split /\n/,$out){
   print "$_;\n";
   }
