First, it must be $site, not site. Next. You must use backslaches with $prog,. Finally, if the program call itself includes the executable without the path, it works.
#!/usr/bin/perl use Win32::Process; my $prog="C:\\Programme\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe"; my $site="http://www.gmx.de"; Win32::Process::Create($ProcessObj,$prog,'iexplore "' . $site . '"', 0 +, NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, ".");
Check the Task Manager to see, if the iexplorer did start! See the Win32::Process pod, too:
sub ErrorReport{ print Win32::FormatMessage( Win32::GetLastError() ); } Win32::Process::Create($ProcessObj, "D:\\winnt35\\system32\\notepad.exe", "notepad temp.txt", 0, NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, ".")|| die ErrorReport(); $ProcessObj->Suspend(); $ProcessObj->Resume(); $ProcessObj->Wait(INFINITE);
