Hello again my brothers,
My question today is in regards to the use ofsystem(). I am trying to run a report on my network from a perl script. Here is the code I have tried thus far:
@args = ("/where/my/program/is", "report=sa
lesrep.rdf", "useid=my_user_id", "server=my_server
", "destype=printer", "desname=my_desname");
  $ret_val = system(@args) == 0 or die "system @args failed:
 $?";
}

Every time I run it I get the same error:
REP-0001: Unable to find the Report Builder message file.  P
lease verify your installation.
system /where/my/program/is report=salesrep.rdf useid=my_userid server
+=my_server destype=print
er desname=my_desname failed: 256 at test2.pl line 24

Does anyone have an idea what this error refers to? Any help would be appreciated.
