Success! Fully qualifying the Perl directory fixed the problem. This worked OK: `exec 'c:\perl\bin\perl print_2.pl';` [download] The path string is different, and in fact incorrect, on the machine where it fails. The real solution is to fix the path string so the code is not machine-dependent. Thanks!	[reply] [d/l]

Again, `exec 'c:\perl\bin\perl print_2.pl';` is more security prone and slower than `exec 'c:\perl\bin\perl', 'print_2.pl';` since a shell is involved in the top snippet. Also, if you're going to put the whole path, you might as well add ".exe" to speed things up slightly.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
