Hello everyone, I am pretty new to Perl and am trying to hack together a script that uses Netsh. The script runs just fine in Cmd.exe but doesn't work when it is a CGI script. Strangely it ran fine this weekend but for some reason today it is giving me problems. Below I have two simplified and different versions of the code that runs fine in Cmd.exe. Thanks for the help!
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; open (netsh, "C:/WINDOWS/system32/netsh.exe dhcp server scope <scopeip +removed> dump|"); foreach my $line (<netsh>) { print $line; } close netsh;
Version2
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print `netsh dhcp server scope <scopeipremoved> dump`;
