in reply to Re: launching perl processes from a perl script on Win2K
in thread launching perl processes from a perl script on Win2K

Just tried my @output = qx/$cmd/;
You've put me on track of the real problem.
Something is choking on one of my command line arguments.
The string bla=1|0|-1|-1 was driving something crazy and producing the error message:
'0' is not recognized as an internal or external command
At least I have a way of getting this under control now.
Thanks a lot.

    You must quote parameters that have "&" or "|" inside them:

    perl .... "bla=1|0|-1|-1"
