Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I am migrating tcl/tk application from Hp Unix to windows.one of tcl/tk script contain following line of statement.
-command {exec ksh -c "$path/startexp.pl http://www.perl.com/down +load.csp" &}
I am calling the tcl scripts using the perl in windows as well as unix.
startexp.pl contain the following code.
-------------------------------
$url = ARGV[0]; if (win32) { system("iexplore $url"); } elseif (hpunix) system("mozilla $url"); }
--------------------------------------------------
1) In windows I am able to open the url using the statement given below .
2) In unix I am not able to get the url which I am passing along with startexp.pl-command {exec cmd /c "$path/startexp.pl http://www.perl.com/dow +nload.csp" &}
-command {exec ksh -c "$path/startexp.pl http://www.perl.com/down +load.csp" &}
I am not able to find the reason why I could not url when running in unix.
The way I am calling is correct or not?
In unix shall I use ksh -c when script calling using perl.
Is there any alternative to ksh -c ?
Please suggest and help me towards this.
With Regards,
mathi
