Re: Exec() argument format

Ok, it says cannot execute - No such file or directory.
ALthough im passing in the file off command line anyway.

The ComLine.pl is executable. Im at a loss here.

I was thinking of using system() but there is no code afterwards and im printing out to a web page in anothe file so i didnt want to lock anything.

As suggested by eyepopslikeamosquito above, consider using the full path to the `ComLine.pl` program: `exec( '/path/to/ComLine.pl', @args ) or die "exec: $!"` [download] or invoke the Perl interpreter (`$^X`, documented in perlvar), also suggested above. --sacked	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Sure but both my files are in the same location. i guess the $^Xsolution is the next best bet.	[reply]
