I have coded a program in perl that will pass some variables to a bat file on my windows server, however I seem to be having issues when I call a system command. Once the system command gets called from Perl the variable gets lost. I understand this is due to it probably opening a new thread where the variables do not carry over. My question is how to get past that? Is there a way to pass the variables from perl to the bat file? Here is the part of the code where I am having issues with. 
system('psexec.exe \\\\aisfs01.gcps.k12  -u username -p password "e:\p
+soft\batfls\$product{commandstop}"') ;

If it runs as is above, I get the following error: "psexec could not start e:\psoft\batfls\$product{commandstop} on aisfs01"
