in thread Win32::Process - need help from an expert!

Sorry, you are correct, $^X should have worked (I missed the fact that you were running another perl script).
Is the second script actually running?

    I don't believe the script I am trying to execute it running. I'm simplifying things now by using the helloworld.bat file which is: 
    echo helloworld > c:\helloworld.txt

    To see if things are running. Also, I am using forward slashes "/" like I do for Linux / Unix on the path instead of using back slashes "\" like windows uses. I've switched these to see if it works like that.

      There's no echo program, so that's a very bad test.

        When I run "helloworld.bat" from the command line it works so that's not true, at least not for me. I have an xserver installed which comes with some unix funtionality ( like ls, echo, etc ). It's called Xvision. So on the command line if I type "echo helloworld" I see "helloworld" on the next line. Can you give me a better test, something that will create a file?
