Re: run exe

"is anyther option to run the exe's in perl."

Yes - you can use the OS specific APIs. Generally these are only needed if you want greater control, for example running asynchronously (in the 'background'). For Windows you can use Win32::Process::Create, but it is not as simple as system.
One of the things which surprises Windows users when running scripts is that 'file association' is not done by the OS but by the application. Hence:
system('myscript.pl');
does not work. However,
system('perl myscript.pl');
does work - if you have %path% setup. If you are using Win32::Process::Create you need the full path name, and to set that from a file extension you can use Win32::FetchCommand.

That's not entirely true: `Q:\>dir tmp.pl Datenträger in Laufwerk Q: ist homes_xxx$ Volumeseriennummer: DEAD-BEEF Verzeichnis von Q:\ 19.07.2007 10:16 188 tmp.pl 1 Datei(en) 188 Bytes 0 Verzeichnis(se), 73.669.185.536 Bytes frei Q:\>type tmp.pl my $line_length = 10; my $line = '123 1234 12345 123456 1234567'; my @lines = ($line =~ /(.{1,$line_length}(?:\s\|$))/g); print "-" x $line_length,"\n"; print "$_\n" for @lines; Q:\>perl -e "system('tmp.pl')" ---------- 123 1234 12345 123456 1234567` [download] Windows also has magic to run files based on their execution and no special Perl voodoo is needed, but you need to set up the file associations correctly: `Q:\>ftype Perl Perl="C:\Programme\perl\bin\perl.exe" "%1" %* Q:\>assoc .pl .pl=Perl` [download] And, mildly surprising, the help text for `ftype` even mentions Perl.

I think that works because cmd.exe is doing the association. If you use Win32::Process::Create then no automatic association is done.	[reply]
