I know I should be able to figure this one out, but my mind is just stuck. I am running a script on a Win2000 system which has a primary hard drive (c:, naturally) and a secondary hard drive (d:). The script runs from the D:/ command line. It has two "system ()" calls which request commands to be run on the c:/. I am receiving an error "'c:\program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.'". I would assume that the reason is that I am unable to go from one drive to the other. Here is part of my code (one of the system calls).

my $downloadbank = "c:/program files/symantec/procomm plus/programs/pw
+5.exe bankpull.wax jbankrib.txt";
system ($downloadbank);
[download]

Any ideas. Is there a module to help me with this task or am I just coding incorrectly? Thanks. blacksmith.
