Hello,

Description:

I'll be building new Java classes for everything else I need to implement. I've already build one class and was able to reference it through ANT. However, there are several Perl scripts I need to launch. I have been unable to get this simple example to work. Is there some trick to getting the CLI options to the perl script you are executing?

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<project name="projectfoo" default="targetfoo" basedir=".">
    <description>
        Ant+Perl test
    </description>

  <target name="targetfoo" description="launch perl script">
    <exec executable="perl">
        <arg value="c:\mydir\foo.pl"/>
        <arg value="-f c:\xyz\filename.txt"/>
    </exec>
  </target>
</project>

I get the following error:

Output:

Build sequence for target `projectfoo' is targetfoo Complete build sequence is targetfoo 

test2:
     exec Current OS is Windows 2000
     exec Executing 'perl' with arguments:
     exec 'foo.pl'
     exec The ' characters around the executable and arguments are
     exec not part of the command.

Thank you :)
